On the 1st anniversary of the death of George Floyd, this seemed an appropriate blip.
Subsequently, a week later England fans booed their team taking the knee in a friendly against Austria and Daniel Storey wrote this afterwards in the i paper, addressing those who jeered.
"You are about to spend the next four weeks cheering on these players in a tournament that you are desperate for them to win; they hold our dreams in their hands and at their feet. And on the eve of that tournament, you have expressed to them that you do not care about them as people, only as performing circus animals and gateways to your hopes being realised. You do not deserve their silence. You do not deserve their excellence. They deserve better than this"
We've a long road ahead.
