Lee Carsley refuses to sing anthem ahead of Republic of Ireland vs England

Lee Carsley stood by his vow to remain silent during the national anthem as England’s Irish connection secured his first win as interim manager against the Republic of Ireland, a day he described as one of the proudest of his career. Declan Rice, who played for Ireland at the Aviva Stadium in 2018, and Jack Grealish, the former Irish Under-21 Player of the Year, scored the goals to secure a 2-0 win for England and Carsley, who made 40 appearances for the Republic as a player. Grealish celebrated his goal in front of the England fans, while he and Rice were booed by the home supporters for the entire game. #leecarsley #england #anthem Read more here:
