Greg Clarke has resigned from his role as a vice-president of FIFA a matter of days after stepping down as chairman of the English Football Association.
The 63-year-old quit his post with the FA after sparking controversy with a series of “staggering” comments in a parliamentary meeting.
Clarke referred to "high-profile coloured footballers", said more South Asians than Afro-Caribbeans work in the FA’s IT department because they have "different career interests", referred to gay players as making a "life choice" and claimed young female goalkeepers do not like having balls hit hard at them.
