PLAYERS, staff and supporters of Clapton Community Football Club unfurled a banner commemorating the late anti-fascist and communist Max Levitas after crushing Hereford Palace 11-1 at home on Saturday.
Levitas was one of the last surviving people to have stood up to Oswald Mosley’s fascist Blackshirts as they marched through London’s East End before being blocked by thousands of leftwingers at Cable Street in 1936.
Kevin Blow, founding member of Clapton CFC, told the Star that the club wanted to acknowledge “someone who said No Pasaran to fascists, who was an important part of East End history.
