Gary Neville believes football players should walk off the pitch when subjected to racism because football authorities are not punishing offences correctly.
The former Manchester United defender has described the punishment given to Bulgaria following racist abuse from their fans towards England players in a European Qualifier earlier this month as "bordering on a waste of time".
"I personally now have got to the situation whereby I would welcome, support a football team walking off the pitch," Neville told Sky Sports News.
"There was talk of England walking off the pitch before the game in Bulgaria. I think everybody would have supported the players and Gareth Southgate in walking off the pitch.
"But then I would expect if England were punished for that, other big nations and all nations essentially in Europe to support England and withdraw from the competition. That is going to need to happen.
"The nations are going to need to take it into their own hands because the governing body are not dealing with it in a satisfactory manner.
"I think it needs to happen because if you are a black England player that played in that game in Bulgaria that suffered the abuse and witnessed the abuse and [to] think a nation is fined £65,000 for it [then] I think you are going to have to take the matter into your own hands."
"People will say [to walk off] is dangerous territory but the reality of it is some of the greatest changes that have been stimulated in the history of society have been individuals being brave," Neville added.
"We have got some really brave young individuals within that England squad who are not going to take it anymore.
"I think they would have the support of everybody in our country and essentially I would then hope the support of everybody in every other country that is playing country in that competition."
