Jonny Williams praises Wilfried Zaha for stand against racism
Former Crystal Palace midfielder Jonny Williams is proud of best friend Wilfried Zaha for standing up to racism and stepping forward in the fight for equality, especially with it out of character for the winger.
On July 11 the Ivory Coast international was sent racist messages and imagery on social media which resulted in a 12-year-old boy being arrested in connection with the incident.
West Midlands Police have since released the individual under investigation, but Zaha, after bringing it to the attention of a wider audience, wants sites like Twitter and Instagram to do more to prevent people suffering racism.
