England Prime Minister David Cameron is intent on eradicating racism from football.
The PM today spoke at an anti-discrimination summit with former players and football bosses at Downing Street and told those in attendance, including ex-Liverpool ace John Barnes and former Chelsea star Graeme Le Saux, that the issue of racism would be fiercely tackled.
"What happens on the field influences what happens off the field. You see children as young as six imitating the behaviour they see on the field.
"So this is not just important for football, it's important for the whole country.
"We want to make sure football is all about a power to do good, rather than anything else.""If everyone plays their role, then we can easily crush and deal with this problem," PM Cameron said.
