TERRIERS legend Andy Booth joined schoolchildren as part of a week of action to kick racism out of football.

The Huddersfield Town ambassador visited Fartown High School last week to record video messages speaking out against racial discrimination.

The messages were shown on the big screen ahead of Town’s 4-0 win against Leyton Orient on Saturday.

Around 300 students from Fartown, Moor End High School, Mount Pleasant School and Spen Valley Sports College went down to watch the game.

Eight pupils from Fartown lead the two teams out at 3pm with a “One Game, One Community” flag.

“One Game, One Community” is a week of action taking place at football clubs across the country to stamp out racism.

Grassroots clubs, schools, community groups and fans join the professional game in coming together in symbolic activities promoting inclusion.
