including about south asians and their supposed career preferences, 93v their supposed career preferences, gay footballers making a life choice and young female players not likely to be hit hard with the ball. soon after, he was gone. in his resignation statement, he said, i am deeply saddened that i have offended those diverse communities that i have worked so hard to include. the condemnation has been widespread. what many want to see now is a sign of positive change. he being in that position, you are supposed to know better. i am position, you are supposed to know better. iam hoping position, you are supposed to know better. i am hoping that within six months my want to see where we are at. greg clark still holds influential roles, meanwhile the fa is under pressure to follow a robust recruitment process after just having announced targets for the game for senior roles. it is about getting the right person and making sure the opportunity is there for

people. it is a chance for the fa to stick to the remit of the code that was set up only two weeks ago. the governing body will be judged was set up only two weeks ago. the governing body will bejudged on how it handles this latest scandal. a number of crises had already engulfed english football and the fa will now have to find a leadership to ta ke will now have to find a leadership to take it forward. one football club that seems to be embracing inclusion in its positions of power is brentford. as part of our women in football week, our reporter alistair magowan has spoken lorna falconer who is head of football operations at the championship club. my my passion is, you know, football and has been the men's game. i have a lwa ys and has been the men's game. i have always wanted to be a part of it. one of the reasons i am here is because the club identified and recognised that i could bring something different and add value to the club. i work with the

recruitment team, when signing players, mainly. the players are coming in. istill players, mainly. the players are coming in. i still find... players, mainly. the players are coming in. istill find... it has happened with some of our own staff before they have settled dead, it happens with players and players' pa rents. happens with players and players' parents. they make the assumption that i am the point of contact or thejunior person. that i am the point of contact or the junior person. my role and that i am the point of contact or thejunior person. my role and my job can be doubled because i continuously have to prove myself. throughout my whole career, i have been asked to get involved in specific projects or, you know, i have been offered so manyjobs in women's football, in communal, just being diversity and that is not what iam being diversity and that is not what i am about. i did not need to see it to be had. i did not have that need. but i recognise that people do. now, the world seemed to be at the gifted feet ofjohn bostock, barely a teenager he had already

been courted by barcelona, real madird and inter milan, the crystal palace player signed for tottenham hotspur for £2 million at the age of 15. he's now 28 and looking for his 14th club as a professional. he's been speaking to our reporter nesta mcgregor about how he almost gave up the game because of the pressure of living up to the ‘wonder—kid' tag. from the age of from the age 01:14, i had literally, you name a club, i had interest from them. barcelona, real madrid, inter—milan, chelsea, liverpool. and i had inter—milan, chelsea, liverpool. and ihad an inter—milan, chelsea, liverpool. and i had an offerfrom barcelona, but my family thought it was in my best interest to stay in london. the choice of clubs was phenomenal. ronald ennio sent the autograph. that is the level of interest i had from the club. he was my favourite player ever, so to have that was

like wow! this is what it is now. it shows you are going in the right direction. crystal palace, foundation. coming up alongside the likes of victor moses and nathaniel clyne, it is having a kid wants to be involved in. you train on tuesdays, thursdays, it is relentless. i told them i was a year older than i was because i was technically too young. i was always pushed. it's not natural to me. that is all that i know. i thought, let's continue the trajectory. it is a different club. i looked at the players playing ahead of me. luka modric and gareth bale. all these players, every position was flooded with at least two internationals. to cement yourself in the team as a teenager... when you go into that, you are carrying pressure you are

not supposed to be carrying. when it did not work out on the pitch, i thought what is going on? and then you start to look at people's opinions of you. it is a dangerous spiral. brentford, learning. hull city, screamer. sheffield wednesday, reality. swindon, paolo di canio. toronto, experience. i got to a low place. by the time my contract expired, i was like, is football even for me? from as early as i can remember, i wa nted from as early as i can remember, i wanted to be the best player in the world. hi just thought, wanted to be the best player in the world. hijust thought, i wanted to be the best player in the world. hi just thought, i want to be that guy. i pinned a lot of my identity and dad. ifelt that guy. i pinned a lot of my identity and dad. i felt as that guy. i pinned a lot of my identity and dad. ifelt as if i that guy. i pinned a lot of my identity and dad. i felt as if i was a failure if i did not get those

things. in france on different places, i was really valued there. in england, it was not the same. i have literally followed where football has taken me. and i see myself not just as football has taken me. and i see myself notjust as a football has taken me. and i see myself not just as a footballer football has taken me. and i see myself notjust as a footballer but almost like a missionary. where i 90, almost like a missionary. where i go, i have got to bring a message, a story. at times, maybe, footballers arejudged by their story. at times, maybe, footballers are judged by their saturday performances but i know we are way more than that. i have had thousands of team—mates and i have tried to make an impact whenever i have gone. it has been an uncomfortable journey but when i would probably not change. it is of course remebrance day, and 2020 has been the 75th anniversary of the end of the second world war, football remembers is a project that's been put together by the premier league's education department, and two chelsea academy players met with tommy docherty recently. with tommy doherty recently. the doc, the former blues manager,

served in the army in palestine following the end of the war. we are from chelsea football club academy. and we have come to the north—west to meet tommy doherty. we would just like an insight into how it was growing up in glasgow when we you were it was growing up in glasgow when we you we re younger. it was growing up in glasgow when we you were younger. i am still trying to forget about it actually! it was very rough. but you got on with it and you accepted it. you didn't rememberas it being and you accepted it. you didn't remember as it being hard, and you accepted it. you didn't rememberas it being hard, he and you accepted it. you didn't remember as it being hard, he went to school and played football, came back home from school and played football. my mother shouted at us, tommy! it is time for bed! how did you feel about being called up to national service question mark i had

the choice of going to the army, going down the mines, and i thought, there is no way i am going down the pit. i will do my national service. before i knew what was happening, we we re before i knew what was happening, we were coming off a boat. in palestine. i was playing football the time because i was a half decent footballer. it was good. it got you away from a lot of guard duties and dangerous situations. you got bombed, shot at, we were in the king david hotel in palestine, when it was blown up. we lost two or three very good lads there. we were just lucky, got away with it. and this is you when you were younger. that is when i signed for celtic. seven quid a week. what did you buy with your first set of wages? i gave it to my

mother. she took it off me! tony about scotland england games. we hated england! we used to love to play the english and beat them. but we did not do it very often, actually. a capacity crowd at wembley to see a learned gained their biggest win ever over scotland. we got beaten 7-0 by england. 7—1, ithink scotland. we got beaten 7-0 by england. 7—1, i think it was, i scored a goal from the halfway line. that is all i can remember. a free kick. a defiant last-minute gesture by scotland.

football remembers on remembrance day. what an amazing story. still going strong at 92. just a quick update on that joe going strong at 92. just a quick update on thatjoe gomez injury news. withdrawn from the squad after picking up a knock on his knee during training. apparently there we re during training. apparently there were no players around him. gareth southgate saying that they hope and pray that it is not a serious injury but he has an injury problem and thatis but he has an injury problem and that is a huge blow for liverpool, should it prove to be serious as well. they have already had a defensive crisis. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. all the build—up for the masters tomorrow on the bbc sport website. goodbye. good evening. wednesday has brought as a transition to much more unsettled autumnal weather for the remainder of this week.

that's going to be the theme, in fact. this was the picture a bit earlier on. a lot of grey cloud around there. heavy rain towards the west is now going to be tracking its way eastward. so overnight tonight, windy conditions for all of us. and that rain will be pushing its way east. it's all down to this weather front here which is heading its way to the atlantic. quite a lot of isobars on the map showing the strong winds with that squally rain. could be the odd rumble of thunder. the winds easing a little bit as that rain pushing its way eastwards. wherever you are you could well notice those brisk winds through the course of tonight with the heavy rainfall. during the early hours of thursday it looks like that rain will linger for a time on the east coast. it should gradually clear way. still showers moving through in its way but a little bit acquired orfirst thing tomorrow morning for top it will be frost free with temperatures in our towns and cities about seven to 10 degrees.

thursday is a quieter day compared to wednesday because we've got this bump of high pressure. that's just bringing mostly dry conditions, less windy on thursday as well. will be a few showers to start off the day. most of that easing away. a lot of dry weather with some sunshine breaking through. there will be more cloud piling in from the west later on in the day. as we move through thursday night and into friday we've got theirs next frontal system bringing yet more rain and squally wins eastward across all of the uk. that frontal rain clearing from the southeast through friday morning leaving some sunshine and scattered showers. most of them in the northwest where they could be heavy and potentially thundery. rainfall mounting up across the west of scotland, for instance. a touch cooler about nine to 13 degrees on friday. look away now if you don't like the wet weather because the weekend is looking very unsettled.

more areas of low pressure and a frontal system with lots of isobars moving in from the atlantic. 00:14:14,635 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 bye— bye.
