Nick Lowles, chief executive of Hope Not Hate, said: “The England players represent a country we can all be proud of. "With their superb performances, and by taking the knee to show their opposition to racism, they showed they’re a team for everyone in England, regardless of who they are. "The England team brought people together by standing up for every member of the team and for every fan who has faced racism. The Hope Not Hate charitable trust is launching a publication celebrating anti-racism campaigns in football called Heroes Of The Terraces. The trust said of England’s team: “Their stance, and their success, has changed the sport and the country for the better.”
