Writing in the Observer three years ago, Daniel Taylor told the story of how Helen Grant, the then sports minister, convened a pow-wow involving the Premier League, the Professional Footballers’ Association and the Football League at Whitehall to discuss the depressing paucity of black managers and coaches in the game, which continues to this day. As well as guests from Kick It Out and Show Racism The Red Card, Campbell was also invited to vent his frustration over the lack of managerial opportunities available to former black players.
Quizzing the FA’s technical director Dan Ashworth, he asked why Gary Neville had been fast-tracked to the England assistant manager’s job. It was an entirely reasonable question, but while having the nitty-gritty of Neville’s rapid rise to such a high-profile technical area explained to him, he interrupted Ashworth. “But I am Sol Campbell.” Unsure how to respond to such an interjection, Ashworth just finished his explanation. The counter-argument? Once more with feeling: “But I am Sol Campbell.”
The "but I am Mesut Özil" line reminds me of this classic:
Such lovely friendly and class person Mesut is. His confidence returning little by little the goal yesterday will always help

Good on him. Puts some of the recent **** into perspective and hopefully certain other individuals take note.
I have a feeling he and Emery are going to become big fans of each other by the end of the seasonResponding quickly to what Emery has asked him to do.
Hope to see even more!
