I used to think you had to be very selfish, but as I get older my views on life change.

New managers have to come from somewhere, everyone has to be a learner at some point.

Yes, I went through overt racism as a footballer in the 80s and early 90s but that was, or is, nothing compared to what the average black person in the inner cities of England goes through every day.

If Arsene Wenger came down to League Two he would have to adapt, he couldn't work in the same way he works at Arsenal.

I'm desperate to work in football. I could make a lot more money doing other things but this is what I want to do.

There is no right or wrong way of playing football.

I'm a real meat eater.

We have to look at it holistically and as a whole and say let us tackle racism or discrimination in life. Then you can look to get rid of it in football.

If every racist who came to football was silenced, football stadiums would still be full of racists. Racism is everywhere in our society, it is inside every one of us.

Until we change our perception of a BAME person's capabilities, in all walks of life, we will be given less opportunities and less time to succeed.

Just by saying it is wrong to be racist and saying we are going to arrest people and kick them out of stadiums does not stop them being racist.

You love football because of the game, not because of some idiot who is going to shout at your from across the street.

Because I have experienced a prosperous, healthy and happy existence, I must have been a decent person in a past life.

African society and culture varies much more than European society but it's just considered 'Africa' as if they are all the same.

Generally speaking, ego isn't a good thing. Humility is the most important quality in a human being.

Top managers, like Pochettino, Klopp and Guardiola don't make excuses.

White players always said to me: 'You can call me 'a white so and so,' I don't mind.' But that's because society has indoctrinated us over the past 400 years to think that that's like saying 'you handsome so and so.'

There wasn't a game in the Eighties when you didn't get racial abuse as a black player.

Most people would accept that we are, to a certain extent, products of our environment.

If you believe you always have to sign players and the players start to believe that, that's when you lose matches.

I think the only thing you should be judged on is your performance in whatever field you happen to be in.

As I've been saying for decades, as long as racism exists in society, it will exist in all facets of society. Until we eradicate it from society, football will be like any other industry.

I think Liverpool, when Coutinho left, they were a much better team.

Just passing laws saying you are not allowed to be racist won't work. You need an educational system in place.
