Welcome to Birmingham Schools Kick Racism Out Of Football!
BSKROOF is for everyone that hates racism but loves football. Whether you're a kid of 6 or a kid of 60, if you think that it's the colour of the shirt that counts NOT the player's skin then read on.
BSKROOF formed in 2003 after staff at Welsh House Farm Community School in Birmingham, UK were shocked that the nazi BNP were standing in the elections. They exist to poison people against each other. We are part of the antidote to their vile racism.

'O are ya? 'O are ya? 'O are ya?- Pimp My ProfileBSKROOF Founder Facts!
Our names are Mike Clarke, Doug Morgan and Nadine Gater. Myself (Mike) created and edited the site and together we are the founders of Birmingham Schools Kick Racism Out Of Football. We have been organising this event since 2003 and this year is our 5th! Over the years we have had support from almost every football team in the Premiership, our local TV, radio and newspaper, the teachers unions as well as the University of Central England and the official PFA anti-racist charity Kick It Out. Last year we went further a field and got support from 2 Spanish football teams (Real Madrid and Barcelona) and from Italian giants Juventus. Our event gets bigger and bigger attracting almost 200 children and parents and over 30 schools. The event has turned so big we have to make it a family day with football coaching from Brazilian footy to penalty shoot out with ex professional footballers.
Pimp My ProfileFounder Facts 1 - Mike Clarke (30 years old)
Married with 2 girls, I am a football coach and parent governor at my children?s school. I have been coaching football for 7 years now and in that time, as well as BSKROOF, I have organised 2 events helping the poor children in Beslan who were brutally killed at school. I?m sure we all remember that awful event! 20 schools took part with every child bringing a toy or school stuff to donate to the school in Beslan. We also raised over ?500. I also arranged a tournament for the Tsunami appeal raising money by players playing football in their pyjamas (they were freezing - poor things!). My motto is we all live in one world so why can?t we leave peacefully together?
Pimp My ProfileFounder Facts 2 - Doug Morgan (Just turned 30!)
I've been active against racism for over a decade, first with the Anti-Nazi League and then recently through the new organisation UNITE Against Fascism (www.uaf.org.uk). Although politically aware before, the murder of Stephen Lawrence was a real eye opener for me. I find it incredible that people are picked on, bullied, or worse just because they happen to have a different skin colour. I wonder if the bigots out there pick on people with different eye or hair colour as well! I am a teacher in Birmingham and came to the profession via an odd route of political activism, plastering, being a postal worker (victory to the strike!) and a Classroom Assistant. Whilst working as a Classroom Assistant at Welsh House Farm I helped form Birmingham Schools Kick it Out with Michael Clarke and Nadine Gater as a response to the BNP standing in local elections. I am an active socialist (www.socialistworker.co.uk) and trade unionist (www.nut.org.uk) and think that it is the duty of all of us to stand up for people that are treated unfairly due to colour, class, religion or any other excuse that is used to isolate and intimidate people.

Hi! Well I?m 26 years old and have 3 children , who I now stay at home with. I have just recently left my post as a teaching assistant at Welsh House Farm School in order to spend this precious time with my children. I managed to bug both Doug and Mike to letting me help them coach the football team at the after school club and got stuck in. The tournament has always been a success and is rapidly growing year after year. It's so nice to watch this grow after all of our hard work. Its a really important cause to me as I have had personal experience of racial bullying and found it very distressing during my teenage years at school, when I felt I had no one to turn to as it was not picked up in the appropriate way. My family and I had to battle with my school then to get something done about it and still I was left to defend myself on a daily basis. So getting involved in KROOF was a great opportunity that came my way, to get the cause recognised and do my bit to try and stop others being treated inappropriately. Pimp My Profile
