Damien Wynter has spoken of “internal racism and internal bullying” at Chelsea in an interview. Wynter also alleged ex-coach Gwyn Williams referred to him as the ‘Brother’, told him “black boys can run”. Chelsea have said in a statement: “We take allegations of this nature extremely seriously and they will be fully investigated.
“We are absolutely determined to do the right thing, to assist the authorities and any investigations they may carry out, and to fully support those affected, which would include counselling for any former player that may need it.”
On the contrary, Wynter said: “Nothing was done about that, so during the season Gwyn, he put his hand on my shoulder, he was a big man, I hadn’t seen him, I hadn’t spoken to him, but I remember looking up and he says, ‘You can do better than that, black boys can run’.
