The Tottenham defender says he is already counting down the days until he can hang up his boots because racists have made him hate the game he loves.

Rose, 28, was one of several England players racially abused during last month’s 5-1 win in Montenegro and he fears it will just keep happening until football gets tough.

He said: “I’ve had enough. At the minute, how I programme myself, I just think to myself: ‘I’ve got five or six more years left in football and I just can’t wait to see the back of it.’

“Seeing how things are done in the game at the minute. It’s just… ‘Whatever’, isn’t it? I just want to get out of it. That’s how I feel.

“I feel I‘ve five or six more years left and I just want to enjoy football as much as I can. There is so much politics and whatever in football and I just can’t wait to see the back of it, to be honest.”

Rose, who has previously spoken out about his battles with depression, is no stranger to racism in the game.

He was subjected to monkey chants throughout an infamous England Under 21s European Championship qualification play-off win over Serbia in Krusevac in 2012.

Danny Rose’s bombshell admission comes amid:

- Our man Paul Brown revealing this SHOCKING story of racism in football

But despite Rose calling for Serbia to be banned, they escaped with a £65,000 fine and were made to play their next match behind closed doors.

And in a week when Juventus teen Moise Keen was racially abused in Italy, Rose fears nothing will change until the authorities finally get tough.

He said: “Obviously, it is a bit sad. But when countries only get fined what I’d probably spend on a night out in London what do you expect?

“When the punishment is not as harsh what do you expect? You see my manager get banned for two games for just being confrontation against Mike Dean at Burnley.

“Yet a country can only get fined a little bit of money for being racist. It’s just a bit of a farce at the minute.

“So that’s where we are at in football and until there’s a harsh punishment there’s not must else we can expect.”

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino, who has since said he would march his players off the pitch if they were racially abused, was banned for two games for his bust-up with referee Dean.
