AMBASSADOR for Show Racism the Red Card, and a key member of the PFA’s Equality and Diversity team, Ken Monkou knows Chelsea are fighting hard to drive out the hate-filled idiots.

Monkou (below) said: “No matter what steps are taken some people will never change, and unfortunat­ely that’s the way it is.

“Chelsea have done some unbelievab­ly good work to eradicate the type of behaviour we have seen recently.

“They have good people investing a lot of time and effort into trying to re-educate fans who go to Stamford Bridge, but I fear it will never be truly stamped out. It’s shocking to see and hear, but we won’t give up the fight to drive these people out of football.

“I go into schools and we teach children to re-educate their parents, because for young people that’s where racism is likely to come from. They’ll hear language about colour or religion that they might think is just banter.

“But I’m impassione­d when I see the young kids so aware of racism and wanting no part of it.”
