The Football Black List, first published in 2008, highlights black industry professionals who are positive influencers.


The names in the seven categories are decided by a panel of experts with representatives from the Premier League, Professional Footballers' Association, League Managers' Association, EFL and anti-racism group Kick It Out.


Leon Mann, co-founder of the Football Black List, said: "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.


"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."
