Sol Campbell faces a backlash from a section of England fans in Donetsk tonight who will parade a coffin at the Donbass Arena in protest at his Euro 2012 warning.
Former Three Lions defender Campbell, now retired from the game, urged fans not to travel to Ukraine amid fears of racist violence, telling a BBC Panorama documentary that they would 'come back in a coffin'.
But supporters at a nearby fanzone in the Ukrainian city have slammed the ex-Spurs and Arsenal star's statement as 'ludicrous', insisting they have been warmly welcomed by the co-hosts.
Pete Harper, a black England fan from Sheffield, told The Sun: 'Campbell’s remarks were ludicrous. I’ve had a wonderful reception from the Ukrainian people.'
Anti-Campbell chants and placards were presented at a campsite on the eve of tonight's decisive Group D clash and fans will carry a coffin into the stadium as a further protest.
However some fans will not wear replica shirts to the game fearing trouble from Ukrainian hooligans.
But coffin organiser Tim Ashwell said: 'We hope thousands of supporters will join us."
he made his first professional matches with argentinian team "Independiente", and caught the eye of sir alex ferguson because of his scoring abilities
so he came in england for 6 millions pounds
but manchester decided to sell him, despite the superbs goals he scored
officially, he left because he was not good enough
but there may be another reason
forlan said in an interview after his 2010 world cup, that he did not score a lot of goals for manchester, because he did not play
"it is difficult to score when you don't play"
he said he only played 5 minutes at the end of every match
meanwhile, he scored the most beautifull goal of the 2002 world cup
[media=]
he got sold to villareal, for a ridiculously low price
for his first season with villareal, he became the season's top-scorer, won the european golden boot award, and qualified villareal for their first ever champions league
the next season, he created a big surprise, allowing villareal to attain the semi-finals of the champions league, losing narrowly against arsenal
for his third season, he scored 19 goals
after all these accomplishments, real madrid or italian club didn't buy him
he was bought by atletico madrid....
for his first season, he scored 23 goals, and allowed atletico madrid to qualify for champions league, for the first time in the decade
for his second season, he became the season's top scorer, and won the golden boot award for the second time (no player ever won this trophy three times)
for his third season, he won the europa league, plating a major role (he scored almost all the goals of his team since the semi finals)
but again, after all these accomplishments, he stayed at atletico madrid, no club wanted him
then came the 2010 world cup, where everybody discovered him
but even after that world cup, forlan said it in an interview, he got no offer!
this is the incredible story of one of the most overlooked players of all time
HERE WE HAVE IT GUYS DIEGO FORLAN THE MOST OVERLOOKED PLAYER OF ALL TIME
Perfect - now England have 6 blacks and 5 whites on the pitch! Ukraine is done anyway.
I am done too - just watching Sweden beat the black/Arabs playing for France.
England is the new France. How can English fans look at that team and think it represents them in any way? Do they care at all that they're being represented by a bunch of Jamaicans?
f*ck it england to win the euros, these man are HURT.

i know it wont happen, but these guys need to be silenced with some skill
Was just looking at the hockey section on there, moaning about a couple black players in the NHL.
Ive just seen the 2012 NHL draft coming this weekend, the top draft pick is muslim, and in the top 20 theres a black guy, a guy of guyanese origin and a guy of filipino origin, i feel to sign up to the forum to mock them about this.
