Trevor Sinclair comes out fighting after talkSPORT pull pundit off-air for Queen remarks

Trevor Sinclair has told people to 'unfollow him' on Twitter if they don't like reading what he has to say.

The 49-year-old ex-footballer has been embroiled in controversy over the past week after posting what he described as an "ill-timed" tweet questioning why "black and brown" people were mourning Queen Elizabeth II, who died at Balmoral aged 96 last Thursday.

Sinclair received a wave of backlash for his remarks and was subsequently suspended by talkSPORT, who he works for as a pundit. In the now-deleted tweet, the former England international wrote: "Racism was outlawed in England in the 60’s & its been allowed to thrive so why should black & brown mourn!! #queen."
