YOU'D struggle to find a better ambassador for the Premier League's No Room For Racism campaign than Wes Morgan.
Well loved and well respected, he is the captain of that fairytale, title-winning Leicester side of 2016.
Even he knows, however, that players past and present still want more when it comes to protecting young black men on the field of play.
This week, Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson (right, top) sparked calls for social media companies to address the racism directed at black footballers after he was targeted following his club's FA Cup defeat to Manchester City.
But Morgan (above) wants football to continue getting its own house in order as it points the finger at the internet.
Morgan Gibbs-White was the latest top-flight star subjected to on-field racist abuse two weeks ago. His club, Nottingham Forest, showed solidarity immediately, as others have done with their players.
In a wide-ranging interview, Morgan said: "I don't see why we can't tackle the situation on all fronts. Football needs to get its house in order. A lot of good work is happening, but a lot more needs to be done at the same time.
"We can still tackle social media and make individuals accountable, if they are verified.
