Patrice Evra has revealed he received death threats in the wake of his racism row with Luis Suarez eight years ago, but insists he holds no ill feeling towards the former Liverpool striker.
The former France international, who announced his retirement from football earlier this week, accused Suarez of calling him a “negro” during a Premier League game between Liverpool and Manchester United at Anfield in October 2011.
Suarez later admitted using the word but denied it was with racist intent. However, The Football Association found him guilty of misconduct and issued an eight-match ban as well as a £40,000 fine.
