The 55-year-old, who endured years of bigotry himself, made it clear that racial discrimination will not go away overnight
Liverpool legend John Barnes has weighed in on the recent alleged racial abuse of Raheem Sterling during Manchester City's clash with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, calling for a complete overhaul in how racism is tackled not just in football, but in society as a whole.
Sterling had been subject to verbal abuse from a group of Chelsea fans as the 24-year-old approached the touchline, an incident that was caught on camera and quickly went viral. Investigations by the club and the police are now underway.
