Leon Best: “We’ve got a few Muslim players here at Newcastle United, like Demba Ba and Hatem Ben Arfa.
“I have a few friends that are Muslim as well and, again, I can understand there is a lot of racism towards them but I don’t see much of it myself.
“It isn’t right though and it shouldn’t exist. They are probably the most humble players, and in life they are probably the most strict on themselves.
“It doesn’t matter about religion. I’ve met Muslims, Catholics, Jewish people, all kinds and they are all the same, all lovely people.
“I’d never played with Muslim players before Demba and Hatem, but I get on perfectly well with them.”
