EPL side West Ham is "under pressure" to take action after one of its youth coaches said that he went on a march organized by the Democratic Football Lads Alliance, a group "condemned by anti-racism campaigners." Mark Phillips, who coaches West Ham's U18 team, is "facing some awkward questions after his support for the DFLA was brought to the attention of Kick It Out" (London GUARDIAN, 10/16).
