was it a low percentage of black players?

up until the end of last year, only 58 black players had been capped by england.

Bobby Robson, since his first match in charge, no. 570, has used 14 different black players, Viv Anderson, John Barnes, Luther Blissett, Mark Chamberlain, John Fashanu, Ricky Hill, Paul Parker, Cyrille Regis, David Rocastle, Brian Stein, Danny Thomas, Michael Thomas, Danny Wallace and Des Walker. He used them on 160 different occasions. Since the 12 players he used against Denmark on 22 September 1982, Bobby Robson has used 1237 players in his 95 matches in charge. Robson's usage of black players made up 12.93% of his players used.

not sure who missed out who was deserving
