Marti wasn't the type to give up without a fight, especially not if she was very afraid - some people are like that. They lean into the fear.

In the 1970s people were afraid to call me black because they thought it was an insult. They would say 'coloured.' Now it has gone full circle. It's not an issue. The intention is the most important thing.

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.

The only fight worth fighting...

The only fight worth fighting is to give all children equal opportunities regardless of race or gender, to judge individuals on their qualities and not their backgrounds. The victory won't come when nobody feels able to voice racist abuse, but when nobody thinks of doing so in the first place.

I felt I had to take the Celtic opportunity. You quickly learn that any managerial vacancy attracts up to 60 or 70 applicants, so you need a good reason to turn a job down. A start is a start.

I am no different from a lot of people. I am concerned for the future of my children and concerned for the future of all children.

How many black people are there in the higher echelons of any industry? We can talk about journalism, we can talk about politics. So why should football be any different?

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

Talking about what any one se...

Talking about what any one section of our society has to do to combat racism just stops people outside that group asking difficult questions of themselves. We keep looking at symptoms and not treating the cause.

From the perspective of what happened with Celtic people might argue that I didn't have the experience for another big job but I don't think my experience with Celtic explains why I couldn't get a job in the fourth division.

For most footballers, they just have to give their all for 90 minutes two times a week, and apart from a few training sessions spend the rest of the time resting. They only train intensively for six weeks before the new season.

Britain has always told the world that being British is about the humanity, compassion and moral fortitude that we have. All great things that we are supposed to have spread across the world. A leave vote now says that we don't really care about anyone else, we don't care what happens to the European Union.

Football can do nothing about getting rid of racism. Society can.

I'm quite unfit. It's the motivation that's the problem, I need a goal. When I was a professional footballer I trained every day because I had to.

Racism is never personal - it's about someone saying the group I am part of is superior to the group you are part of.

A white manager loses his job and gets another job, he loses his job, he gets another job. Very few black managers can lose their job and get another job.

There are so many intelligent former black players, guys like Luther Blissett and Cyrille Regis, who never got a chance to become a top manager or a top coach because of the perception that surrounds people who look like them. They are black - which, for many, means they are good athletes but incapable of being anything above and beyond that.

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

I think Hazard influences the team so much that anywhere he goes you have to give him the ball.

We all have preconceptions of people based on what we have been told about them and their race and ethnicity.
