Ex-FA chief Robert Palios is shocked and disgusted after Sol Campbell claimed that he was not selected as the captain of England because of his race. He said I was flabbergasted when I heard the things Sol had said Adding - To brand the FA like that is just an example of lazy labeling and he does the case of fighting against racism no favours by saying this. If you talk about the selection of the captain and the players, it was entirely down to the England manager. We [the FA] would never go anywhere near suggesting to the manager who should be in his squad or who should be his captain. Sol has picked the wrong argument. If he had said something about the lack of opportunities for [black] coaches then everyone would have resonated with that The England International had 73 caps for the 3 lions.
