Celebrating Black Excellence In British Football

الوصف

In this illuminating conversation with Football Black List co-founder Leon Mann we dig deep into why representation in the sport matters from the field of play, to the boardroom. The awards take place in April and will celebrate Black excellence in Britain where the likes of Alex Iwobi and Kolo Toure will be honoured.
