Friends and colleagues talk about the footballer\\u2019s formative years, his remarkable premiership debut against arch-rivals Arsenal and how a knee injury sparked depression and introspection.

But it\\u2019s racism that dominates his story.

A black player representing England in international matches, he\\u2019s been subjected to racist chanting and abuse.

After last month\\u2019s Euro 2020 qualifier in Montenegro, he said , enough is enough\\u2026 it\\u2019s time for football\\u2019s governing bodies to stamp it out.
