WEAR RED DAY, OCTOBER 18 ‘A MASSIVE INFLUENCE’
Top anti-racist charity Show Racism the Red Card (SRtRC) launched its annual Wear Red Day fundraising campaign at Unite’s central office on September 3, with sporting stars among football and cricket’s finest in attendance. The event drew illustrious guests including former footballers Pat Nevin, Paul Elliot, Alain Goma, England cricketer Monty Panesar, and former Rangers manager Alex McLeish among many others.
Unite general secretary Len McCluskey said, “Show Racism the Red Card has captured for many years now our beautiful sport. It’s been able to use [football] to make certain that the issues surrounding racism, from young children onwards within our society, [are addressed].”
Football legend Pat Nevin (pictured) believed that clubs want to see the best players on the field, no matter who they are or where they come from.
He told uniteWORKS, “When a kid watches their favourite football player, whether it’s Thierry Henry, or Eden Hazard, or anyone else, does that kid care about his race or where he’s from? I don’t think so. And I think that’s the one big thing above everything else – why football should use its position, because it has a massive influence on kids.”
