“The diverse complexion of the England team has been another reason why a new generation of fans are rallying behind the Three Lions. Seven of the starting XI against Denmark had parents or grandparents from overseas, according to the Migration Museum.”
“A graphic which has gone viral on social media shows how once you cross out names of all players who have either a parent or grandparent born abroad, very few remain.”
“The England football team is more diverse than many people realise. The London Migration Museum has run a campaign to remind us that without immigration the England team as we know it would not exist.”
