Playing the race card?
Former Arsenal defender Sol Campbell believes he would have “been England captain for more than 10 years” had he been white.
The 39-year-old, who played 73 times for his country, claims the Football Association and the majority of fans do not want a black England captain.
Campbell, who three times captained England in friendly matches, also labelled the appointment of Michael Owen as skipper ahead of him as "embarrassing".
In a new authorised biography serialised in The Sunday Times, Campbell said: "I believe if I was white, I would have been England captain for more than 10 years - it's as simple as that.
"I think the FA wished I was white. I had the credibility, performance-wise to be captain.
