BOXER Amir Khan is pledging his support to the "One Game, One Community"' week of action next month.

The week, beginning on October 18, will bring together groups across the country to celebrate the contribution all communities are making to football, while adding their voices to the need to challenge racism and discrimination.

Arsenal and England Under-21 star Theo Walcott, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay and England cricket star Monty Panesar are among those backing the campaign.

Bolton Wanderers fan Amir Khan, said: "The week of action provides a platform to discuss how we can address the issues of discrimination some people may be facing in football."

All 92 professional football clubs will hold specific match day activities and hundreds of community events will promote messages of inclusion and equality.
