Legendary striker John Fashanu has urged England’s World Cup squad to take the knee in Qatar next month – not just for racism, but for gay rights too.
In an exclusive interview with the Sunday Mirror, the former England and Wimbledon ace admitted he used to shun his late brother Justin, the first professional footballer to come out.
But now he says gay fans should be allowed to be themselves at the tournament that kicks off next month in the Islamic state, where same-sex acts are punishable by up to seven years in jail.
