Attack ... England ace Theo has been hit by racist taunts
THEO Walcott’s worried brother announced yesterday he would stay away from England’s games in Ukraine because “some things aren’t worth risking”.
Ashley Walcott and father Don will now support Theo from home instead amid fears Nazi thugs could target black fans.
And Ashley blasted football bosses for staging Euro 2012 in an East European country notorious for its extremist soccer yobs.
He said on Twitter: “Unfortunately my dad n i have taken the decision not to travel to the Ukraine because of the fear of possible racist attacks confrontations.
“Somethings aren’t worth risking, but begs the question why hold a competition of this magnitude in a place that can not police itself for foreigners of any creed to feel safe, but I’ll be watching every minute.”
Ashley, 25, added: “Racism has no place in the modern world.”
