Troy Deeney has given an astonishing insight into the Premier League captains and executives meeting in which he had to intervene to force a conversation on football's fight against racism.
The Watford captain has explained that the topic, written on the agenda for the meeting, was almost entirely overlooked because others on the call 'didn't want to provoke an uncomfortable conversation'.
Footballers have taken a united stance against racism following the murder of George Floyd in America last year, with players kneeling before games in support of Black Lives Matter.
