I would say that Rio is more of an off white than black?

I'm a bit surprised George Berry isn't on that list.

They didn't say for being a "good" influence, did they? Like it or not agents are a big influence on the game (more bad than good in my opinion) and Sky is one of the best known.

Forny, I agree entirely.
However if you look at the full list it is simply a list of black people who may be 'famous' from football without actually being current players.
Whilst the sentiment of the piece is to be admired I fear it is merely lazy work by The Voice and others.
An excellent idea, poorly executed. Indeed why fill a list in the first place? If there are say only ten or twelve black people in a position of influence within football then just highlight that?
One Chief Exec in nearly one hundred is damming enough.

An article about influential asians in football would be interesting as (sadly) there are far too few beyond the odd Chinese lad signed to boost TV viewing figures

George Berry was a cult hero, why no mention for him but a mention for Kamara??

Kamara does more in the media and that I suppose. He's well liked.
They have forgotten Kofi Nyamah though.
