Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp feels football's stars need to take a role in the aftermath of the local riots.
He wants Premier League stars to help find an answer to Britain's riots.
He told The Sun: "I really believe football can help.
"When I was a young player at West Ham, we used to go into the schools every afternoon and coach kids.
"All the players went including Trevor Brooking, Frank Lampard and me.
"It was great for us and brilliant for the kids to mix with footballers."
Tottenham boss Redknapp, 64, whose club found itself in the middle of some of the worst violence, added: "All clubs - including Spurs - do some amazing work in the community.
"But I'd like players to get involved in the hope of making a positive impact on the lives of school children.
"Something HAS to be done because clearly, things are not getting any better. We certainly live in worrying times."
