6:46Now PlayingThe Football Association is beginning its search for a new chairman following the resignation of Greg Clarke over “harmful, archaic” and “deeply offensive” remarks.
Peter McCormick, chairman of the FA’s professional game board, has been named interim chairman after Clarke stepped down amid a storm of criticism.
The 63-year-old apologised after he used the word “coloured” to describe black players and insinuated that being gay was a “life choice”.
His comments, over a video link before a Digital, Culture, Media and Sport committee, were branded “harmful”, “archaic” and “deeply offensive” by a host of anti-discrimination groups.
Clarke was also condemned for saying that black and South Asian people had “different career interests” from each other, and drew complaints for saying a women’s coach had told him that the lack of women’s goalkeepers was due to girls not liking the ball being kicked at them.
