 NWN : This story seems to be even more left wing BLM type Marxist propaganda from the BBC. And the very idea that a THIRD Division football player would play for England is also stretching things .

This was written by a long standing Plymouth Argyle fan who still lives in the town; "Having read the article he wasn’t dropped at all. He was named as a reserve and failed to show up. There is not a shred of evidence other than the usual putrid left wing conspiracy that he was dropped because of his colour. Therefore 'virtue signallers' are asking for a statue of a third division player who couldn’t be arsed to show face. ".
