started watching football in the 70's, as a footy fan you always remember those the first few years like it was yesterday.
I so the programme advertised and thought great Regis / Cunningham / viv Anderson first black player to have an England cap. Then up pops ian wright, as a player fantastic to watch, as a pundit and when on documentaries I switch it off. His newspaper write ups I find annoying, to be good at media or as a pundit you have to not show your personal feelings about a particular club. So doubt I will watch the programme, I don't like how he comes across in general.
I would not have said sterlings stick that he got was racist, that's my point of view and fully understand some may feel it differently. I purely believe sterling gets the flack because of the media loved Liverpool fans kicking a fuss when he left. This was then followed like sheep by the nations footy fans at away games booing him and jumping on the sad band wagon. The shallow footy fans that jumped on this merry-go-round then tried to throw on the back of it bad England results, often people look for a blame rather than actual truth. So sterling gets booed away to burnley and west brom plus others. It is ridiculous, I also believe that the thousands of genuine good football fans don't boo him, they show respect. Sterling leaving Liverpool was nothing different to any player leaving a PL club to go to another PL club.
Myself I would never boo a player just because another team of supporters dislikes him, like a lot of footy fans if a player is injured and taken off I clap. Ok we boo a referee, we boo a player like Mane for an offence caused during a game.
