Former Man City star Trevor Sinclair issues apology over Queen tweet as talkSPORT take him off air

Trevor Sinclair has apologised for any offence caused by a tweet he wrote following the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday evening.

The Queen passed away on Thursday at the age of 96 after a 70-year reign. As the United Kingdom entered a period of mourning The FA, Premier League and Football League decided to postpone all football fixtures this weekend out of respect.

Allegedly reacting to the news of the Queen's death, former City player Sinclair posted on Twitter: "Racism was outlawed in England in the 60s & it's been allowed to thrive so why should black & brown mourn!! #queen." That post has since been deleted.
