England footballers taunted with monkey chants and N-word slurs in Montenegro
London - England players’ families and friends were left appalled by the level of racist chanting in Montenegro on Monday night.
Monkey noises were aimed at Danny Rose towards the end of the game and a lighter was thrown at 18-year-old Callum Hudson-Odoi as England celebrated one of their three second-half goals. England players swiftly rallied round team-mates who were racially abused with the defiant message: ‘Abuse one of us, you abuse us all’. Tottenham left back Rose looked distraught as he left the Podgorica City Stadium. This is the second time he has endured such treatment in the Balkans, the first being in Serbia when he was on England Under 21 duty in 2012.
‘I don’t want any of my friends going through that. It shouldn’t be happening but it’s out of our hands and we’ll see what happens.’ A FA spokesperson said: ‘England players were subjected to abhorrent racist chanting. This is unacceptable at any level of the game and we welcome UEFA’s decision. Our immediate focus is on supporting UEFA with their investigation and the players and staff involved.
