fans on the terraces have set a standard that John Terry and his men would do well to follow
monkey chants rang at White Hart Lane this month Lazio away "ultras" of Italy abused three players Spurs. It was shocking, but it was too surprising. It was a memory, an echo of the open terrace racism was common 25 years ago. No more hope.
The case of John Terry, Luis Suarez, last year, has led some to ask whether the status of soccer in the fight against racism was an illusion. Anyone who has spent more time on the terraces in the 1980s or 1990s knows what has changed. Football probably introduced me to racism. But it was also the place where it is made public in the fight against racism in any part of British society.
grown breathes football. My father, who came from India in his 20s, is a cricket fanatic who has never tried to pass the "Test cricket." My mother, who is Irish, thought it was important that I knew about Kevin Keegan and Sunil Gavaskar. Someday, when I was five years old, she brought two cups of football, with a layer of Everton in it, the other with Liverpool. they were easily the two biggest teams in the playground in our little corner of Cheshire. Opting for the blue, I became an Evertonian for life, then take the full kit at every opportunity. constant harassing to take my game to finally paid as a gift 10th birthday.
probably did not know much about racism then. Football meant motivating goals and end titles of the League Cup. My computer was completely white was not uncommon then. West Brom "Three Degrees" - the trio of shiny black Laurie Cunningham, Brendon Batson and Cyrille Regis - made headlines as an exception exciting, not the rule. Football Against Racism problem soon took the stage. In Merseyside, Liverpool John Barnes signed a racism of the city in the light and forced to face, too.
wondering if the stop is football. But I do not know if I could. And I do not walk. When I heard a voice behind me as I walked to Selhurst Park in a blue tracksuit, saying: "Even the Pakistanis support Everton now," he does not look like a threat of violence
do not feel safe at all they have blagged a ticket on the wrong side of an FA Cup match at West Ham distance, terrace, once filled began to sing: "I Paki Scouse one prefers to be one. "In theory, at least, it seemed that I would be safe if he kept his mouth shut. Scouse My focus, however, refused, having moved to Essex in my teenage years.
- adopting a second team Southend United, standing behind the goal, racial slurs seen an offensive player wolves directly challenged our own black players. Southend fans even had a song unconsciously racist anti-saturation to celebrate our meta-forward. "Ansah black, white Angell, we fucking dynamite" are racist chants in football more. Experience gamers exhibited her nonsensical arguments, as when the Front National, which has led many decent English fans for some time, could describe the result of the victory of 1984 against Brazil as a "zero" John Barnes updating second goal. Targets blacks, except it was obvious they did.
With so much to do to fight against racism terrace, nobody expected that the problem will spread highly paid Premier League dressing rooms multinational Culture and behavior in football elite has obviously changed. It is good to know that I can take my five and six years, a stage after his first test with the soccer match Live Wembley international women during the Olympic Games, without having heard the insults of a racist booth . I prefer not to give a master class of highly paid stars swear football either. Football fans has changed. It is time for the players too.

Phillips has now reached its end with another strong set of sentences. Lord Neuberger may restore harmony to a court more rebellious?
The UK Supreme Court has issued a solid set of tests this morning, which shows the level of restoration of independence enjoyed by the government and the courts below.
In perhaps the most important decisions taken today, the court has granted political asylum to a number of Zimbabwean refugees who had to feign loyalty to the regime that governs their country in order to avoid persecution.
"Nobody should be required to have or express a political opinion that believeth not," said Lord Dyson. "You should not have to hide the pain of persecution. Refugee Law does not require a person to express their support false from an oppressive regime, requires more than an agnostic who claim to be a believer to avoid persecution."
Dyson added: ". Idea of" if you're not with us you are against us "thinking permeates dictators From their point of view, there is no real difference between neutrality and opposition. "
In another case decided today, the Supreme Court cut the wings of the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA), ruling that the agency had no authority to seize goods a convicted felon abroad when he and his assets were outside the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom.
Ruling, Lord Phillips said: "Subject to limited exceptions, is contrary to international law for country A, which aims to make the criminal conduct in country B committed by persons who are not citizens of the country A. Article 357 [of the Proceeds from Crime of 2002] is not limited to prohibited conduct criminal offense. This gives a public authority in the UK tax authority to require positive obligation to provide information authority subject to criminal sanctions in case of non-compliance. confer on persons outside the jurisdiction would be a violation of international law particularly alarming. For this reason alone, I think it is implicit that the authorization under Article 357 can not be exercised for persons within the jurisdiction. "
The court allowed the appeal of a local authority against an earlier decision on the costs of the care process and dismissed the appeal by the Grampian Health Board on a topic related to gender and racial discrimination.
Finally, Lord Sumption made the judgment, critical to the majority in a case involving the security of tenure under the Housing Act. Two of his colleagues agreed higher. One was Lord Mance, who said that one of the results of the consumer "was not in accordance with law." Whatever you think of lifting Sumption to the Supreme Court without having previously been full-time judge, Lord Mance and Clarke dissented perfectly with kindness.
- statements today were the last to be delivered before the hands cross the President of the Supreme Lord Neuberger. How, then, we summarize the results of the Phillips court?

More: Brothers who have played for England, Rory Delap dessert and why Italy play in blue. Send your questions to knowledge@guardian.co.uk and follow us on Twitter
"A friend of mine just returned from holiday in Argentina and said younger brother Diego Maradona is more popular there that Diego himself on his excellent career National League Argentina, "says Tyler Blake." How come I never heard of his brother? Does my partner do things? "
Yes, Tyler, his partner is a liar and a scoundrel. Or maybe it's just very confusing. It is true that one of the younger brothers Diego has enjoyed high visibility in Argentina recently, but it is absurd to suggest that it is larger than El Diego, or even that he was a great player in Argentina or any addition.
In fact, Diego has two brothers who have become professional footballers. Hugo, who is eight years younger than Diego was actually a useful player, but, of course, never reached the dizzying heights of his elder brother. It was crowned by his country's youth and began his career in Argentina Juniors before, following the exploits of his brother in the 1986 World Cup, has been signed for Ascoli. He did not just cut Italy (but once you play against Naples Diego) and was sold soon Rayo Vallecano, where he spent two years respectable but unspectacular. He then played for clubs in Austria, Uruguay and Venezuela before moving to Asia and enjoying the most successful period of his career, almost 100 goals in six seasons in Japan before retiring in 1998. Knowledge to the latest news, Hugo lived happily in the United States, operating a bakery with his wife.
"It is true that Hugo has never reached the level of his brother," said Hugo The Palm Beach Post this interview in 2010. "It is also true to say that Pele is the only man who. Doing what is impossible for my brother ... but I am very grateful to football. Otherwise, I would not be where I am now. I would not created a family that I have now. "
's brother, Tyler rascal of a mate is probably referring to, however, is Raul Maradona, better known as "Lalo". It was as good as any of his older brothers, but it still has high visibility in Argentina. Lalo has attracted the world's attention in the context of the World Cup in 1990, when he was captured by Italian police Ferrari driving his brother without a permit. When the police arrived at training camp in Argentina to verify the identity of Lalo, Diego immediately suspected were false: angry denouncing "vigilantes" incurred by rivals Argentina to interrupt the preparation of their country. Diego was launched against the police with fists shaken. A scuffle ensued strong.
then Lalo football career was already on the way down. He had begun to Boca Juniors and beloved family again after the 1986 World Cup. It soon became clear, however, that Lalo had little talent of his brother after three appearances as a substitute for competition, it happened. He was unsuccessful seasons in Japan and Spain before enjoying a season in Toronto. In 1998, Peru Deportivo Municipal announced with great fanfare that Maradona had signed. Lalo scored in a friendly match in his debut, but he played only one game after that before the club went to the wall. Commenting on the contribution of Lalo during his stay, the club director Luis Saettone complained that "so little added to the team he was essentially playing with 10 men."
Current fame Lalo Argentina, then, has little to do with their football exploits. An appearance in 2005 in the Spanish edition of Celebrity Big Brother has brought to the forefront, and in recent months has gained some affection in Argentina to appear in a television advertisement for a football match in which imaginary satire of his own attempts to follow the footsteps of his famous brother. The ad shows serious blunders in a variety of football drills, in a scene that tries to dribble between the so-called cones, but hit. "It was not easy, I had to do about 20 times before I managed to hit them all," said Lalo in a recent interview.
Maradona While the brothers had different skill ranks. However, many teams in recent years due to make a dream team of Maradona ... we have almost done. In 1987, Lalo, Hugo and Diego played together in the Spanish second division of Granada, the contract provision which led the club Lalo. Their opponents? FC Malmö, led by none other than Roy Hodgson. Two of the four banks was, apparently, can not compete with three Maradonas and Granada won 3-2, with Lalo opened the scoring after a pass sublime Diego, who then scored with a shot mark free. Unfortunately, after the introduction fun, fortune and the fall of Granada Lalo, with the player being released at the end of the season after relegation the club.
BROTHERS IN ARMS-
"What Anton and Rio Ferdinand to be in the news recently, and his brother Phil Gary Neville regularly on our screens, I wonder how many pairs of brothers played for England over the years? "wrote Howard Jacobs.
response, Howard is 20, besides Fernandos Anton was not capped at a high level. The first two were Herbert and William Rawson in 1875. Only three pairs of brothers have represented England, while playing in the same club: Gary and Phil Neville, of course, Hubert and Francis Heron Wanderers in 1876 and in 1899, the Nottingham Forest duo of Frank and Fred Forman /
There is a case of three brothers who play in England: Arthur Ernest Bambridge and Edward was crowned in the country, but not at the same time. Ernest was the eldest and won his only against Scotland in March 1878. Arthur played for England three times, once with Edward in 1884 - the two brothers scored in the 8-1 victory against Ireland. Edward (or "Charlie" as it is commonly called, Charles was his middle name) was considered the best of the three, playing for England and 18 times in 1972 described the centenary FA directory as "the most important outside the left of his time, very fast with exceptional ball control. His left-footed shot was devastating. "Hence his nickname" Charlie Bam ".
