Black History Month Heroes: Nicolas Anelka

Black History Month Heroes: Nicolas Anelka

During Black History Month, we are celebrating the contribution players of African and Caribbean descent have made to the Premier League in each of the last 30 seasons.

A decade on from his last season award, the PFA Player of the Year with Arsenal in a blistering spell in north London as a teenager, Nicolas Anelka earned the Golden Boot for Chelsea on the final day of the 2008/09 campaign.

The French striker fired in his 19th goal of the season from outside the area to set up a 3-2 victory at Sunderland, as he pipped title-winning Manchester United attacker Cristiano Ronaldo in the race to be top scorer.
