Talking about racism in football is dangerous

Reya El-Salahi

Available for over a year

Sol Campbell has been making headlines for claims his international career would have been more successful if he were white - comments that have led to widespread criticism from a bevy of former players, managers and pundits. In this extract, former Notts County and Jamaican international player, Michael Johnson, tells the BBC's Reya El-Salahi that response like this leaves Britain's black communities feeling silenced when speaking about racism.
