Howard Gayle (born 18 May 1958 in Toxteth, Liverpool) was the first black player to play for Liverpool.
He was at the club for six years but was only given a total of five first team matches, later playing for several clubs including Birmingham City and Sunderland. His finest hour for Liverpool came in the 1981 European Cup semi-final second leg away at Bayern Munich, and he was rewarded with a winners medal at the end of that season, as a non-playing substitute in the final.
