The midfielder suffered horrendous racist abuse as a player in 1980s and says he is appalled at the discrimination still prevalent in today’s game
Chelsea’s first black player, Paul Canoville, has said that he thinks racism is only getting worse in English and world football.
There have been a number of high-profile incidents of discriminatory behaviour in England this season, with leading stars such as Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford and Tammy Abraham having received racist abuse on social media.
Last weekend alone in the Premier League, Aston Villa and Brighton & Hove Albion fans were involved in racist chanting, with both clubs now attempting to identify those involved in the incidents.
