Rio Ferdinand has praises Jamie Carragher for coming out and apologising over the Patrice Evra racism incident.

However, Rio has also asked Liverpool, who supported Suarez at the time, to come out and do the same.

Then Liverpool forward Luis Suarez had racially abused Manchester United defender Patrice Evra for which the club took a weird stance of supporting the forward.

Liverpool vice captain of then Jamie Carragher has now come forward and apologised but Ferdinand wants more.

“Testament to Jamie Carragher for apologising, eight years after the incident,” he said on BT Sport.

“But I think it is bigger than Jamie Carragher. It is the club.

“Liverpool let themselves down that day by wearing t-shirts in support of someone who had been accused of racist language.

“Eight years on and still the apology hasn’t come from Liverpool. It is not a t-shirt that is going to change it, it is education.”

Ferdinand also went on to add his thoughts about the Euro 2020 qualifier racism incidents.

“I think England’s players handed it well. There is no absolute way to deal with it and the powers that be are struggling with the sanctions,” he added.

“I am of the mindset: punish them on the pitch. But the way Haringey and Yeovil dealt with it, coming together and walking off, shows unity from the football world. That was a good sign.”
