Southgate plays down race divide
England youngsters segregated by colour in pictures

GARETH SOUTHGATE was adamant on Saturday night that there was no race issue between English players.

The Daily Mail released pictures on Friday night of the Under-20 squad eating dinner at the recent Toulon tournament, which could have been taken a century ago, with the black players sitting together on one table and the white players on another.

Other photos showed a similar theme, with the black players congregated together while white players were in a separate area.
