(Reuters) - England manager Gareth Southgate said he suffered abuse after joining a British government initiative to encourage people to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

Southgate, 50, recorded a video supporting the vaccination programme as part of a campaign to urge younger people to get inoculated, which he said was a"responsible" thing to do.

"Our only way out of this pandemic is vaccination, certainly for vulnerable people. I understand a lot of young people aren't so keen, they are questioning things - I don't know whether that's accurate or not." "When you want to try to make a difference, and take the right sort of stance on taking the knee and other things, then you know you are not going to please everybody," he said.
