DVD WITHDRAWN

Last updated : 28 January 2005 By Editor

The FA has been forced to withdraw a dvd of 17 of England's greatest players as none of them were black. Rio Ferdinand who was at the launch of a new anti-racism campaign called Stand Up Speak Up had this to say.

"There would certainly be some on my list. I would definitely included John Barnes and Ian Wright. I would have also included Paul Gascoigne because I worshipped him as a kid. I would base it on pure ability so skin colour doesn't even enter my head."

Rio and Ruud will both appear in a TV advert promoting the campaign.
