Paul Gascoigne protected him during a vile racist attack. Olusoga was born in Nigeria, his father's home country, and moved to his mother's home of Gateshead, Tyne & Wear, as a child.

The family were targeted by the National Front, who drove them from their house after smashing the windows in the middle of the night.

Olusoga, who presents the acclaimed BBC documentary series A House Through Time, described the moment Gazza stepped in during one terrifying attack.

He said: “My older sister, Yinka, was three years ahead of me and in her class was Paul Gascoigne. I have one memory of Paul, one strong memory.“Which is of lying on my back having been pushed over and hit in the playground and this kid with light coloured hair and very bright blue.
