The FA is firmly committed to promoting diversity in all areas of the game and in society. We regret and apologise for any offence that may have been caused due to the lack of black player representation on the DVD.

With immediate effect, the DVD which has been distributed to all new members of the englandfans club to date has been withdrawn.

The FA is in the process of producing a new DVD which will include several outstanding black players who have of course made a huge contribution to the national team and football in this country.

Additionally, The FA is writing a letter of apology to all englandfans who received the original compilation - with a copy of the new DVD. A letter will be sent to the PFA apologising for any offence caused to any current or former players.
