"Black excellence in football is regularly talked about on the pitch – and we want to help highlight the contribution of black leaders off the field in the sport, too," said Football Black List co-founder Leon Mann, who is planning an online celebration for those recognised. 

"This list of influential game-changers is a snapshot of the contribution black communities are making to football.

"Those named today join an illustrious group who have featured on the list over the last decade – including the likes of Raheem Sterling, Ian Wright, Hope Powell, Rio Ferdinand, Herman Ouseley and Rachel Yankey."
