Football Association chairman Greg Clarke has stepped down from the post after using "unacceptable words" for referring to black players.

Clarke, in a statement, said he was "deeply saddened" for the offence he had caused by using the term "coloured footballers".
The comments came when he was talking about the racist abuse of players by trolls on social media to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) select committee via video link in the Parliament on Tuesday.

According to a report in BBC Sport, during the parliamentary hearing, Clarke apologised for his words after being prompted to say sorry by MP Kevin Brennan.
