- description: The FA chairman, Greg Clarke, was made to apologise during a select committee hearing after using the term 'coloured footballers'. Clarke was addressing MPs about the current crisis of funding and governance within football. Clarke said: 'If I look at what happens to high-profile female footballers, high-profile coloured footballers and the abuse they take on social media … they take absolutely terrible abuse'. Clarke was later asked to retract his remarks by the committee member Kevin Brennan and did so, saying: 'If I said it I deeply apologise for it.'
