Sol Campbell Accuses FA of Racial Discrimination When Handing CaptaincyBy Arunava RayMarch 2,2011 New Supra Skytop Black Yellow UK, 2014 06:08 GMTSol Campbell looks likely to return to Arsenal in a managerial capacity.Arsenal legend Sol Campbell believes that he would have been made the England captain 10 years back if he was white.The former Tottenham and Arsenal player has won all major domestic titles in his career and has been a towering presence in the backline for the Three Lions.However, his consistency at the back and his leadership qualities has never culminated into the captain's armband, something which he believes Is due to racial discrimination on the part of the English FA.Campbell was part of the Arsenal squad which went the whole season unbeaten in 2003/04 where he was hailed for his leadership skills.However,2011 New Supra Skytop All White, the FA never gave him the opportunity to exercise his prowess for England, instead picking Michael Owen to captain the side ahead of him. The defender ended his career having captained the side thrice in friendly games, something which has not gone down well with the Englishman."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,Supra TK Society High Tops Blue Lime Green Womens, performance-wise to be captain. I was consistently in the heart of the defence and I was a club captain early in my career," Campbell said."I don't think it will change because they don't want it to and probably the majority of fans don't want it either."It's alright to have black captains and mixed race in the under-18s and under-21s but not for the full national side. There is a ceiling and although no one has ever said it, I believe it's made of glass," he added.The defender also revealed that appointing Owen as the captain was an embarrassment and an insult to his credentials."I think the FA didn't want me to have a voice. Owen was a fantastic forward but nowhere near being a captain. It was embarrassing. I've asked myself many times why I wasn't. I keep coming up with the same answer. It was the colour of my skin," he concluded. Sol Campbell's FA Racism Claims Met with Cynicism By Footballing WorldBy Tony MoganMarch 3, 2014 14:17 GMTCampbell claimed he would have been England captain for a decade had he been white.ReutersSol Campbell's claims that he would have been England captain for "a decade or more" had he been white have been met with cynicism by many faces across the footballing spectrum.In a serialisation of his biography the former Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal centre half made explosive claims suggesting his hopes of captaining his country on a regular basis were compromised by the colour of his skin.Campbell accused the FA of being an 'institutionally racist' organisation having captained his side on just three of his 73 appearances for the Three Lions over an international career of 11 years during which Tony Adams, Alan Shearer and David Beckham were awarded the armband.While admitting English football's governing body does have serious issues of race to address, Kick It Out Chairman Lord Herman Ouseley believes the timing and source of Campbell's complaints will inevitably draw a sceptical reaction from many."Trying to link the two things as Sol Campbell has with his comments, draws cynicism because he is trying to sell a book," Lord Ouseley told the London Evening Standard. "That's where I think a lot of people are very sceptical even though what he is saying has some validity."I think it is very difficult to not attract cynicism by doing it in the way he is doing it. That is the sad part of it."I don't think it is wrong he should raise the issues but the fact he is writing them in a book several years later raises the question of what exactly he has done about it in all those years while he was a player and in the time since his retirement. Only he can answer that."Former England manager Sven Goran Eriksson has also denied Campbell was overlooked for the captaincy due to the colour of his skin, insisting the FA never had an any role in deciding who was to skipper his sides."Not a chance – during my years, not a chance,Supra TK Society Mid UK," Eriksson, who picked Campbell 32 times during his five years in charge, told the Telegraph. "As you know, from my first to my last game, I had David Beckham [as captain] and there were never, ever any discussions at all in the team or in the FA about the captain."Former Liverpool and England star John Barnes has also disagreed with Campbell's claims.
