Kevin Kilbane has defended fellow former footballer Trevor Sinclair over his controversial tweet following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Sinclair has been under fire after claiming that "black and brown" should not be mourning the death of the long-serving monarch who died at the age of 96 on Thursday.
He said: “Racism was outlawed in England in the 60’s & it's been allowed to thrive so why should black & brown mourn!! #queen.”
