Scored a brilliant overhead kick from the edge of the box for QPR once.

I Went to school with him or more accurately I was at the same school as him, he was always popular as he was the best footballer by miles, fast as anything and generally known to be hard as £#%&! so nobody messed around with him and everyone wanted to be his mate.

Remember this was back in the early 80's and he had a nickname ( think Jim Davidson ) that would be considered massively racist in today’s age and even back then people should have known better but everyone called it him - not in a mean abusive way it was just what he was known by and he on the face of it accepted it.

I'm not saying what he tweeted was right but I can understand why he feels he needs to crusade against racism ( he is strident about it on Talkshite as well ) as it is something he has lived with all his life even to the point as a kid you were known by a name associated with the colour of your skin and Im sure growing up he encountered a lot worse.

If this was a kid who was good at sport, popular and hard as £#%&! being on the end of racism ( however low level we thought at the time ) he will have seen others far worse affected by it and probably feels he has a platform to call it out.

Other than that he has grown up to be a complete #@&%!, but I can understand his feelings on racism

This is probably the non partisan truth

I can see where that would come from, but I don't think most school kids saw these names as a pejorative - the ginger kid got called carrot or duracell, the one with glasses got called Joe 90 or speccy, the fat kid got called Roly (Grange Hill reference for the young ones) and so on.

It was probably the generation before that were the more racist, possibly enabled by the Enoch Powell Rivers of Blood speech (old blokes in the pub claiming Enoch was right when seeing West Brom's team and so on ).

Still not sure how much the Queen knew about Trevor's nickname though.

The royal family had a great chance to lead by example with Meghan tbf, and made a pigs ear out of it.

She will dump Harry when he is bald and moody and lost all his mates.

She will marry then a Netflix exec or a member of the MCU. Possibly the next Rock? I bet she's eyeing up Roman Reigns as we speak.

One thing you have to give to Meghan is she’s always kept a dignified silence.
