Brenda Spencer is John Shaft.

The Black and White Minstrel Show came to be viewed as offensive due to its performers portrayal of blacked up characters behaving in a stereotypical manner. Popular in the 1960's it is now a source of embarrassment.
Here is a picture of Brenda Spencer handing an award to two blacked up Latics fans (presumably behaving in a stereotypical manner) for their 'outstanding' fancy dress effort a few boxing days ago.

Really we should be looking at taking the awards off those two fans. If I remember correctly the lads in question were dressed up as Pascal Chimbonda, yet, were there any transfer requests secreted down their socks, or were they late for the half time parade and subsequently dropped? Oh no! Charlatans!

I hope the two gentlemen find life in Sunderland to their liking (if indeed they ARE Mr Chimbonda), nice to see their career progressing at such a successful club!
