Football clubs in the UK have agreed to tackle homophobic and transphobic abuse in the sport, following a summit at Downing Street yesterday.

British football governing bodies, ministers, campaign groups and ex-players met at Number 10 to discuss the problem of homophobia and racism in the game.

The event was held in light of recent high-profile incidents involving several players making homophobic remarks on Twitter, as well as Liverpool's Luis Suárez and England captain John Terry facing charges of racism.
