We DO want to keep taking the knee! Football players 'overwhelmingly' back sticking with the 'act of solidarity' despite fans' booing after being quizzed by the PFA... who slam the EFL and clubs for a 'lack of leadership'

A survey carried out by the Professional Footballers' Association has shown overwhelmingly support from players to continue taking a knee.

The questionnaire followed a series of incidents where fans booed the anti-racism gesture and aimed to find out how clubs, players and staff best wanted to spread the message of equality in the sport.

The results of the survey illustrated that players 'support continuing this act of solidarity despite any adverse responses that may be received'.

The gesture in support of Black Lives Matter was booed by Millwall fans before their home Championship game against Derby on December 5, and in their next match against QPR, players stood arm-in-arm instead.
