A footballer who received abuse at Gillingham’s Priestfield Stadium is spearheading the Football League’s ‘Together Against Racism’ campaign.
The EFL re-launched their campaign ahead of the weekend, encouraging players, managers, and fans – both in the stands and at home – to use their voices to drive change.
Between October 17-28, the campaign will focus on giving fans, players and managers a voice, learning about their experiences, hearing first-hand stories and showcasing how football is fighting to remove racism from our game.
The campaign was launched with a content film featuring former Newport County, now-Crewe Alexandra forward, Omar Bogle, speaking about his experience of being racially abused while playing for the Exiles away at Gillingham last season.
