IAN WRIGHT is spot on when he says that racism and First World thinking is behind the disrespect shown to the Africa Cup of Nations.

Many of our best players throughout the divisions come to this country to work and play and we cheer them on every week — so why wouldn’t we show our full support for one of the world’s great sporting competitions?

“We played our Euros across 10 countries in the middle of a pandemic and there’s no issue at all. But Cameroon, a single country hosting a tournament, is a problem,” said Wright.
