[Kick It Out @kickitout]

We are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Lord Herman Ouseley after a short illness.

Lord Ouseley was a titan in tackling discrimination in football over the 25 years he was chair of Kick It Out, having founded Let’s Kick Racism Out of Football in 1993. He was also a fearless advocate for underrepresented and disadvantaged communities and will be sorely missed.

Lord Ouseley’s vision to set up Kick It Out was the first true structural change in football to take on a problem that had blighted the game for decades. Fans and participants are now more aware of discrimination and how to challenge it, which is a legacy of the tenacity and vigour he showed in ensuring football continued to change. We owe him a huge debt of gratitude and vow to continue that legacy for the benefit of future generations.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time.

There would be no Football Black List without you 🙏🏿

𝗥𝗼𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗛𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀 - “The world of football and the Black community owe a debt of gratitude to Lord Herman Ouseley. Many initiatives within our community have been inspired by an absolute legend. He will never be forgotten.”

𝗟𝗲𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗻 - “He kicked down doors in the fight against racism in football. He built Kick It Out from scratch. He challenged the powers that be at a time when they were not open for change - and often not even a conversation. We have lost a pioneer and should pay tribute to him by doubling our efforts to fight racism in football and society.”

Very sad. I grew up watching Rob and the Rhinos - fond memories.

Rob was a true inspiration who used his voice and the uniting force of sport to bring people together and raise awareness of MND.

Thanks for what you gave us Rob, rest in peace.

[Leeds Rhinos @leedsrhinos]

It is with deep sadness that the club can confirm that former player Rob Burrow CBE has passed away, aged 41.

[Youth Sport Trust @YouthSportTrust]

We're excited to share that we have just finished a 12-month research project called Unified Action - Diversifying Sport Governance. 🙌

Funded by the @EsmeeFairbairn Foundation and working alongside @SportingEquals and 2-3 Degrees, this project has been co-designed with eight changemakers from ethnically diverse communities and underrepresented groups.

Working in partnership with three sports, the aim of this project is to lead the research through youth voice.❤️
