England v Germany - the last match at the old Wembley Stadium

The King George's regulars meet to watch the World Cup qualifying game. As the match is played out on the big screen, other rivalries come to the fore.

Barry, the team's star black striker, may have a Union Jack tattooed on his bum and chant "Inger-land" along with the rest but we soon realise that he is a barely tolerated outsider; when the publican's son is relieved of his mobile phone by his black mate, the racial divide is violently exposed.

Award winning writer Roy Williams explores Britain's obsessions with football, race and national identity at the sharp end.

First seen at the National Theatre in 2002 this is the first time Sing Yer Heart Out for the Lads has been performed outside of London.

A full education programme is available. Resources are available online at

YORK CITY FC KICK RACISM INTO TOUCH

York City Football Club has actively implemented an anti-racism policy and produced our own anti-racism literature in conjunction with Kick It Out and the Safer York Partnership. Our Minstermen Against Racism leaflet is available at the Club and is distributed to schools and community organisations throughout York.

Every year we actively participate in Let's Kick Racism Out of Football's National Week of Action which this year takes place between 17th and 30th October.

Previous activities surrounding the Week of Action have involved and anti-racism poster competition launched in local schools and the creation of a History of Black Footballers display in the York City Family Room.

York City Football Club will not tolerate racism at our KitKat Crescent ground and actively seeks to include and embrace all sections of the community.
