Clyde Best film hailed as a showcase of resilience and excellence

The Royal Gazette


The story of Clyde Best’s journey from being a little-known Somerset Trojans and Bermuda footballer to one of the few Black players in the English game in the early 1970s, will be told in a feature-length documentary to be launched in 2024 entitled Transforming the Beautiful Game: The Clyde Best Story.

The necessity of the film was discussed at a gathering at the Bermuda Football Association’s aptly-named Clyde Best Centre of Excellence, attended by Best himself along with standout players of his era, along with several members of the Trojans youth programme.
