Christopher Samba: Ex-Blackburn captain racially abused in Russia

Christopher Samba asked not to go out for the second half of Monday's Moscow derby between Dynamo and Torpedo due to the racist abuse he was receiving.
A Russian Football Union (RFU) representative confirmed racist chants had been directed at the former Blackburn and QPR defender.

"I can confirm Samba felt offended with Torpedo fans and didn't want to go on the pitch for the second half," Dynamo vice-president Gennady Soloviev said.
"That's why he was replaced."

Dynamo won the game 3-1 and manager Stanislav Cherchesov said afterwards that Samba had been substituted because of a calf injury.


The defender spent six years at Blackburn, making 185 appearances between 2006 and 2012. The Congo international left for Anzhi Makhachkala but returned to England in January 2013 to play 10 games in a loan spell with QPR.
