According to Wikipedia, he played a part " in creating a trade union policy that discriminates against women and black members, which is still the legal precedence for cases where a woman or black member brings a complaint of sexist or racist harassment or discrimination against other members.

Forestalled (U10697036) posted Dec 20, 2007 Triesman used to dangle his Spurs scarf over the front desk at NATFHE Inner London Region meetings when he was the Regional Secretary. He was then a master of both procedure and protocol - in other words, a complete hack - and exactly what the FA does not need.
