I'm surprised.
I don't know if Jamie would agree.
He didn't mention Paul Scholes.
I think you've got Paul Scholes and, you know, the Xavi and the Estar.
More Xavi.

Without a doubt, Scholesy.
Guys, we do agree.
Listen, we're on a football show.
You know, and we're talking about how football can influence the situation.
I mean, football is such a big part of culture in all countries, more or less, today, throughout the world.
You know, in Holland, most certainly, in the UK, most certainly.
So we have a small part to play.
But in trying to understand that, you know, from someone from my generation, I mean, I can only talk about what racism I've seen and witnessed.
And I've seen very little.
I mean, I, and I'm talking in the football context here, you're not in that football club.
When I go back over my time, of course, there wasn't so many black players playing at the highest level in England then.
And the ones who did, I can remember Clyde Best, I can remember him getting abuse from the small minority of village idiots on match day.
But me personally, in the dressing rooms I was in,
I didn't witness anything in a dressing room that would be called racist or a racism statement or anything remotely like that, because the players would have come down on it.
