First British Asian to score at the Lane?

[1973Blade]

Just speaking to a mate and we think Yankee Dhanda was the first British Asian to score at the Lane? Not bad saying that it was his first touch as well!

Could have been Otis Khan, but he was busy banging in a brace for his new employers yesterday

I'm made up for him.

From Britain but of Asian descent. Dhanda's family were originally from India.

Michael Chopra was probably the first then.

Did Rachid Harkouk ever score at the Lane? That wold have been late 70s, early 80s.

Edit: Quick check, he's British born Algerian.

Ricky Heppolette has played at the Lane at least once. He was in Preston's line up in January 1970.

If we played Stoke City at any time between 1933-45, we may have come up against Frank Soo, a wartime England international of Chinese origin. Whether he scored or not I don't know.

He did not, at least not in a non wartime game.

It's Jack Lester I think.

In a couple of weeks there will be the opportunity for the first ever Cuban to score at The Lane.

No way did Jack Lester play during the war. I know he was getting on a bit when signed for us, but still.

Aye and they picked up from Liverpool when he was released this summer.
