Endorsements: "Here at Bolton Wanderers FC we have a team of players which includes 18 different nationalities and has a mixture of ages, colours, religions and beliefs. However, we all work together with the same aim, and that is to win games of football. We oppose any form of discrimination here and fully support all efforts made to stop it, not just for a 12 day period but all through the year." Sam Allardyce, Bolton Wanderers FC. "As an Honorary Patron and one of the first people to get involved on the footballing side of Show Racism the Red Card, I am amazed at how the organisation has gone from strength to strength in the ten years since its birth. In those days it literally was 'one man and his dog' working away to get the message across, unlike today where we have not only an Honorary Patrons list reading like a Who's Who of the footballing world, but also Premiership and Football League players and ex-pro's giving up their valuable time for this worthwhile cause. Going into schools to educate youngsters on changing racist attitudes gives us much satisfaction and in the privileged world we live in it helps us to give something back. Show Racism the Red Card has done as much for changing attitude as the government in this country - that in itself is a tribute. Well done to Ged Grebby and his hard working staff - and here's to another 10 years!" Chris Kamara, SRTRC Honorary Patron.

A statement I make with some sadness and very little regret. It’s a career that lasted some 14 years, 4 clubs, great friends and even better memories. Even now as I sit in the quiet of my room here in the States my mind very rarely drifts to my footballing exploits, not so much to what I have achieved or what might have been, but to the life long friends and accomplishments that I can call my own. There are team-mates, fans and staff at Reading FC, just as at Newcastle, West Ham and Portsmouth, that I proudly regard as lifelong friends…but my mind keeps drifting to SRTRC and what we’ve managed to accomplish over the years. I think back to those early days of travelling the North-East with my good friends Warren Barton and John Beresford, and smile as I then consider SRTRC’s presence in Germany for the World Cup conversation with Ben, one of our volunteers with an extensive and highly successful poster working with me for the very first time, where he tells campaign, and a new-look magazine on the shelves me that after a particularly enjoyable evening in East of thousands of school libraries across the country. London he feels he may have stumbled upon his My smile beams with pride. It’s a pride that words calling- he’s sure he wants to be a teacher and work dare not express, but many people will understand with kids. It’s days like these, it’s the thousands of and are very much a part-of. Not only the hundreds curious minds, it’s the moments when kids realise of footballers who are now an integral part of the that they too can make a difference that makes it all campaign, but also the countless volunteers who worthwhile. The days I’ll never forget. give of their time willingly, and thousands of kids who proudly show off their ‘Red Cards’. So after 14 years of playing the game I love there are hundreds of games we could talk about. But after Long after the game has passed me by, long after just over 10 years with SRTRC my proudest the hurt of that Steven Gerrard goal (sorry I had to achievements are on the pages to follow…I hope you put that in!) has faded I will remember my enjoy them as much as I have… Shaka Hislop.

I have no doubt that the scope and diversity of the work undertaken has had a positive impact on affecting racist attitudes. Good luck for the next 10 years". Brendon Batson, SRTRC Honorary Patron. “I would like to congratulate Show Racism the Red Card for the achievements of the past ten years. I am glad that players and coaches have been so wholeheartedly behind the campaign, and been able to make a difference. There has been a marked change in behaviour at football games, and where once racist abuse and chanting was commonplace, it is now almost non-existent. The racists have nowhere to hide, and have been forced to confront their actions and attitudes. Fans who once stood by and did nothing, will now make it clear that this kind of behaviour is unacceptable. SRTRC is a shining example of what can be achieved, and football in Scotland and elsewhere is all the better for their efforts. Their work is not finished yet, and a new generation of children will benefit from their educational campaigns, but I think that football can be proud of this progress. Best wishes”. Walter Smith, Scotland National Team Manager. "It is great to see SRTRC go from strength to strength. In these days of real challenge for those of us who really believe in a multi cultural society, Red Card’s genuine grass roots work is an example which many could follow". Dave Anderson MP, Blaydon Constituency. "The National Union of Journalists 100 per cent supports Show Racism the Red Card. There is no place for racism in football, just as there must be no room for it in the rest of society. But with the prominence that football assumes in our national (and international) life, we should be especially concerned that the ugly pollution of racism does not infect the minds of the young. Football stadiums are also a workplace for many NUJ members and as such our members should not have to put up with being presented such attitudes in the course of their work. Red Card has achieved so much over the years in helping to purge intimidating racist atmospheres from matches. Yet there is still more to do and we wish the campaign's future efforts well". Chris Morley, NUJ President. “UNISON is proud to continue its support for Show Racism the Red Card. Only through teamwork, unity and education can we build a society free from racism and xenophobia. Ignorance of the issues is the real enemy and the campaign remains at the forefront of anti-racist education”.

  • The Work of Professional Football
    The work of professional football Most professional footballers don’t have a Ferrari, a mansion, a celebrity girl- friend or a lucrative book deal. Few of them will ever play at Wembley. Their careers are short, insecure, and played out under constant scrutiny. The Work of Professional Football offers a sociological study of the working lives of ‘ordinary’ professional footballers. Based on extensive research, including in- depth interviews with players who have achieved varying degrees of professional success, it provides unprecedented insight into this ‘closed’ world, and a unique sociological exploration of a contemporary working culture. It examines: ● The labour of professional sport ● The drama and performance of a career in the public eye ● How players deal with the fragile and uncertain nature of their careers ● The role of footballers’ working and family relationships ● Changing attitudes and ideals over the course of a career The book focuses on career turning points, such as injury and transfer, and demonstrates how players’ identities are built around basic needs for security and self-esteem. The Work of Professional Football will be of great interest to students and researchers working in the sociology of sport and the sociology of work, foot- ball studies, coaching studies, business and management. Martin Roderick is Lecturer in Sociology at Durham University, UK and a former professional footballer. The work of professional football A labour of love?
