Edward Lord, the FA’s Inclusion Advisory Board member axed for speaking out about a lack of action over discriminatory issues, has seriously upset FA bosses again. The FA claim Lord is attending matches and attempting to gain access to VIP hospitality areas to meet people on the basis of still being on the Inclusion panel — behaviour FA general secretary Alex Horne has described as ‘abhorrent’. But Lord counters that he has still been invited to clubs despite no longer being on the IAB and only met problems at Blackburn Rovers. He has also been to games at Manchester City, Aston Villa, Sheffield Wednesday, Bury and Accrington Stanley.
