“We want to know what’s right and what’s wrong. But I think other people make mistakes, too.

Former midfielder Davis’ former star admitted in the explosive new book, Arsenal Match of My Life: “Things were very different in the 1980s.
“A specific game that stands out is the one we played at Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, which is not the most productive position for a black player.
“I’m being racially abused through 50,000 Chelsea enthusiasts and all I can do is forget about it and play my game.
“What really surprised me was that they had a black player named Paul Canoville on his bench. I don’t forget to think, “Wow. Si’s bad for me, believe it as it is for him. “
“It must have affected him because he was just a young player looking to make his way into the game. I followed his career later, but he never got anywhere.
