A highly unusual, but incredible letter from #EnglandFootball Manager Gareth Southgate. 👇🏾👇🏾This is the leadership we've been missing nationally re values and Englishness. That he felt the need to write it speaks volumes, but this is what allyship looks like. 👏🏾👏🏾 #Inspirational
Have just caught up with this. It’s inspiring, profound and tells a story about England that everyone in the country can get behind. He’s a very clever man that Gareth Southgate - if only he’d enter politics one day. theplayerstribune.com/posts/…
