Daley Thompson's Decathlon

Daley Thompson

In the original Sinclair Spectrum game, Daley (who is of mixed parentage) was presented as a white character with what probably was supposed to be an Afro (which he didn't even have). The Spectrum's limited colour technology partially explains this, but it's strange, and ironic considering that the CGA version of Bruce Lee changed other game colors to make Bruce's skin the wrong colour (see the trivia entry for that game).
