Surely you understand the difference, Dan. One is a fine white gentleman and the other isn't...

There is no debate that Sterling is English he represents England at football, was educated here and learnt his trade here and holds an English passport. In a lot of cases it's irrelevant where someone is born as it has no bearing on their future live for example if their parents move around several different countries for work reasons.

My dad was born in Mitcham, my mum was one of 13 kids born in Sunderland and I was born in Wallington. Nevertheless, I am proud to be English.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

You clearly want to be added to the little list of people I will no longer respond to.

I would urge you to consider the stupidity of your statement.

You actually think that someone cannot be criticized because of their skin colour?
Do you think you are clever to make such a statement?

Do you think that I'm remotely bothered by this little spate of personal attacks?

On the contrary. It perfectly exposes the mentality of those responsible. Internet abusers all. It tells me that when faced with reality, all you people have is baseless accusations, and that should tell people all they need to know.

Don't bother to reply.
