Marcus Rashford's child poverty work earns him a place on Football Black List

The list celebrates the positive influencers from the black community in the sport.

Marcus Rashford's tireless campaigning to tackle child food poverty has earned him a place on the Football Black List.

The Manchester United and England forward has made the 2020 list – which celebrates positive influencers from the black community in the sport – for his work in successfully lobbying Government for an extension of free school meal provision.

The Football Black List was founded by Rodney Hinds and Leon Mann in 2008 and members are selected by an expert panel from the black community and football industry.

Other players joining Rashford on the list are Crystal Palace goalkeeper Chloe Morgan, for raising awareness of black inclusion and LGBT+ representation in the women's game, Aston Villa defender Tyrone Mings and Watford's Troy Deeney for challenging racial injustice and Palace forward Wilfried Zaha for his efforts to support nurses during the coronavirus pandemic.

Hinds said: "Yet again the Football Black List has unearthed many in the community that are doing great work.

"The efforts of Marcus Rashford deserve acclaim alongside the others on the list who go about their business for the good of others.

"After a year of challenges, it is great to be provided with inspiration."

Edleen John, the Football Association's co-partner for equality, diversity and inclusion, Villa Women sporting director Eni Aluko and QPR's director of football Les Ferdinand feature in non-playing sections of the list.
