Dave Kitson has stressed his comments about Manchester City star Raheem Sterling from 2018 were misinterpreted as he bids to lead the Professional Footballers' Association.
The former Reading and Stoke attacker was slammed after claiming that Sterling's use of social media gave people a reason to dislike him.
England defender Tyrone Mings protested against Kitson's comments at the time by pulling out of an interview with TalkSPORT.
