Alan Hansen Apologises For Referring To Black Players As ‘Coloured’ On MOTD (Video)

By Chris Wright

Alan Hansen has been forced to apologise after unwittingly referring to the black players affected by the ongoing Suarez and Terry racism cases as 'coloured' not once but twice on Match of the Day last night.

Hansen, who was making a point about the strides made vis-a-vis racial tolerance in the modern game, said:

"I think there's a lot of coloured players in all the major teams and there are lots of coloured players who are probably the best in the Premier League.
