This episode is a special 75th Windrush celebration.
In the 1940's Britain was just starting to recover from World War II and needed rebuilding.
And so, after the war, lots of these people came over to Britain to live and work.
They got on a ship - the Empire Windrush - which left the Caribbean to travel thousands of miles across the Atlantic ocean.
It was 22 June 1948 when the Empire Windrush arrived at Tilbury Docks in Essex. This was the first time so many Caribbean people had come to live in Britain. Many more arrived in the following 20 years.
So now, on the 75th anniversary of the Empire windrush arriving on our shores, An estimated 500,000 people now living in the UK who arrived between 1948 and 1971 from Caribbean countries have been called the Windrush generation.
In this special episode, talkSPORT's Mya Graham explores three different football related windrush stories. Luther Blissett, Darren Moore and Viv Anderson. Unique in their own way but all binded by their shared windrush link.
