FORMER Leeds and South Africa captain Lucas Radebe believes football is slowly winning its fight against racism.

The English Football League launched this season’s Together Against Racism campaign today with clubs engaging with local communities to showcase a range of new and existing activities.

The initiative will run for the rest of October, coinciding with Black History Month and alongside the Premier League’s No Room for Racism and the Football Association’s Enough is Enough campaign.
