    Former Liverpool star Howard Gayle has rejected an MBE by claiming it would be “a betrayal” to Africans who suffered at the hands of the British Empire.


    Gayle, 58, had been nominated for the award for his work for the Football Association’s Show Racism the Red Card campaign.

    He's claim to fame.

    Came on as a sub for Liverpool in a CL final and was then subbed.

    Daft bugger. Why not turn it around and accept it in honour for his work on behalf of all those working to right those wrongs.

    Sol Campbell claiming its a fix, the award should have been his.

    If I was offered anything like that I'd turn it down in an instant. Don't blame anyone else who does, whatever their reason.
