Description

Dive into the thrilling life of Raymond Chester, the Oakland Raiders legend.

While America was convulsed following the assassination of Dr Martin Luther King, Chester was central to the move of black American football into the mainstream. From his college glory at Morgan State to his iconic moments on the NFL field, Chester's story is one of resilience and triumph which resonates far beyond the world of sport.

Based on extensive conversations and interviews with Chester himself as told to Welsh author and rugby fan Jon Gower, Raider brings a unique perspective to his life and career.

Perfect for sports fans around the world, Raider is a love-letter from Wales to an American football icon whose legacy transcends the game.
