The Football Black List national celebration was a big success and the ongoing partnership with the Premier League is central to that.
Together we are stronger and we look forward to continuing to collaborate to amplify Black excellence!
Everyone at the Football Black List is deeply saddened by the passing of Marvin Morgan.
Marvin was a visionary who cared immensely about his community. He was wholehearted committed to actions, never just words.
We will miss him 🖤
RIP Cyrille Regis
Thank you for inspiring generations to believe they could succeed against all the odds. Not just in football... but across all areas in life.
You were always there for the community. Always.
Your spirit lives on in each of us.
Thank you.
Everyone at the Football Black List is deeply saddened by the passing of Benson Mensah Bonsu.
Benson was clean hearted and passionate about sport and the community he served. He was a huge supporter of the FBL, often attending our celebrations.
He will sadly be missed 🖤
