Dein calls for sanctions against Spain

Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein believes FIFA should force Spain to play their next international behind closed doors as punishment for the racist abuse by their fans towards England players on Wednesday.

Dein, who is an influential board member of the FA, also revealed that, following a visit of the Spanish FA’s head of public relations, their coach Luis Aragones ignored his advice to send a written apology to Thierry Henry for referring to the striker as a black s***.
