Country blues legend Lead Belly is credited with the earliest woke reference
The Song “Scottsboro Boys” describes what happened in 1931 when 9 Black teenagers were accused of raping two white women in Scottsboro, Arkansas.

“I made this little song about down there,” Lead Belly says. “So I advise everybody, be a little careful — best stay woke, keep their eyes open.”

If every football pundit worked till they were 65, he'd never have got taken on. Sorry, Mark, you're not getting a go till 2005, when Paddy Crerand turns 66.
