THE Football Association will pay tribute to anti-racism campaigner Lord Herman Ouseley prior to England’s match against Greece at Wembley on Thursday.

Lord Ouseley, who launched an anti-racism campaign in 1993 which ultimately led to the foundation of Kick It Out, died last week after a short illness at the age of 79.

Troy Townsend, who worked with Kick It Out from 2001 until earlier this year, criticised the reaction from the football authorities to Lord Ouseley’s death, saying: “I would have thought there would have been some recognition of Herman Ouseley’s passing this weekend, considering everything he did to make football a more equal industry.
