During the Euro 2020 qualification in Montenegro, racist chanting was heard against England players, including Tottenham defender Danny Rose.
The 28 year-old was the target of monkey chants during the match, and the racist abuse got louder when he was booked for a foul.
In Serbia, 2012, whilst an under-21 match, Rose, was a victim of discrimination, he spoke about his thoughts, admitting it’s taking its toll.
Speaking to Sky Sports, he said, “I’ve had enough.”
The defender can’t wait to see the back of it as he prepares for five or six more years left him in football before retirement.
Despite his unconditional love for this sport he says the game’s bosses are being too soft against this scourge racism is driving him away.
Ishveer Mann a Spurs fan and London Met business student, said, “It’s 2019 and this should not be happening especially to such talented players.”
Over the weekend there were three more incidents; a Brentford fan was arrested for racially abusing Derby’s Durban Holmes while Wigan’s Nathan Byrne and Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha were both allegedly subjected to racial abuse on social media.
