Anzhi Makhachkala defender Chris Samba is saddened by events at former employers Blackburn Rovers and feels more needs to be done to combat racism in football around the world.

Samba will be back in England on Thursday for a UEFA Europa League clash with Liverpool at Anfield.
He returns with a racism storm still raging on the back of the John Terry-Anton Ferdinand affair and the Congo international, who has been subjected to racist abuse during his short time in Russia, feels the formation of an 'independent organisation' could be good for the game.
"You open your eyes and you see that racism is everywhere," added Samba.
"We have to educate people. It's about respect. People shouldn't be judged on the colour of the skin.
"We saw that the Kick It Out organisation is not really efficient. It doesn't really have any power. That's why I think a lot of players are talking about an independent organisation that could generate more power. It could bring more weight to this kind of problem more quickly.
"The John Terry case took too long. They should have got sanctions in earlier."
