'Football CAN'T solve racism': John Barnes hits out at England team taking the knee again – arguing ‘practical action’ on 'knife crime and education for young black kids' is more important

Former England forward John Barnes says 'football can't solve racism', as he today threw himself into the row over Three Lions stars taking the knee.

The ex-Liverpool winger questioned 'what practical action had been taken' as a result of footballers making the anti-racism gesture.

Barnes, 57, instead urged a focus on tackling knife crime and improving education for young black children.
