Anti-racism campaign groups have condemned "disgraceful" comments made by ex-Norwich sporting director Stuart Webber about five black footballers.
Webber said in an interview with the Pink Un the players might have ended up "in jail" or "something else" had they not become professional footballers.
The 39-year-old referred to Raheem Sterling, Abu Kamara, Jonathan Rowe, Max Aarons and Jamal Lewis all by name.
Kick It Out's Troy Townsend said the comments were "absolutely disgraceful".
BBC Sport has contacted Webber for comment and understands he has called and messaged the players in question, and their families, to personally apologise.
