Studio 10 reporter Daniel Doody breaks down in tears as he discusses the racist abuse targeted at England football stars


Studio 10 reporter Daniel Doody broke down in tears during a segment on the racist abuse targeted at England football stars on Thursday.

Daniel became emotional while reporting on a new digital mural depicting the three players who were racially abused after missing penalties during the Euro 2020 final.

After discussing the mural, he said: ‘Hear, hear, well done to that.’

Co-host Beau Ryan agreed, adding: ‘There were scenes in Whittington where they were putting flowers and chocolates.’

‘Marcus Rashford does many things for the community such as feed the homeless and all the people that he has helped in the last three to five years turned up. I want to know what you think about it Doody.’

‘You’re a proud man of colour. You are Sudanese and Samoan heritage. You are very proud about the colour of your skin. How did you feel about the last week?’ Beau asked.

Daniel broke down into tears and explained: ‘When I did see that article, it was very upsetting.’

‘We adore you Daniel Doody. We love everything you do, you’re such a beautiful man. We are so lucky to have you on our team,’ host Sarah Harris said.

It comes after Marcus Rashford and fellow England teammates Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka, were racially abused by after missing penalties in Sunday’s Euro 2020 final defeat at Wembley.

A mural of Rashford was also defaced in what is being investigated by police as a possible ‘hate crime’, with derogatory comments about the forward, including the words ‘sh**e’ and ‘b*****d’.

Further graffiti said ‘f**k Sancho’ in reference to Three Lions teammate Sancho who also missed a penalty during the shoot-out.

The mural has since been repaired and is now covered in messages of support from England fans, who have left notes, flags and shirts on the wall in solidarity with the footballer.
