Gary Neville on Monday night claimed white players are given an easier ride than black players by the media when they make it into the England squad.
Sky pundit Neville said: 'I think over the last few days I've heard people mention "Well, yeah, Gazza got stick and David Beckham got stick and Wayne Rooney got stick" and I lived closely to those two lads in terms of witnessing it.
'It was horrific the stick, the vilification they got when it was bad or when they made mistakes. But, you know, when it was good for them they were hero-worshipped.
