Due to recent allegations of racism on the pitch, the timing of the 2011 Black List Awards can only be described as uncanny. Regardless of what the FA investigation uncovers, the allegations introduced a new level of purpose and relevance to the awards.
Thankfully, in 2008 co-founders Leon Mann and Rodney Hinds understood the need to recognise members of the community who contribute not only to the game, but to the diversity of an association. By speaking with their actions and not merely their words, they have created a platform whereby guests can be educated and nominees can be celebrated.
Well done to the nominees and founders – I look forward to attending next year.
