MARCUS RASHFORD’S tireless campaigning to tackle child food poverty has earned him a place on the Football Black List.

The Manchester United and England forward has made the 2020 list — which celebrates positive influencers from the black community in the sport — for his work in successfully lobbying Boris Johnson’s government for an extension of free school meal provision, which the Tories opposed for weeks before succumbing to overwhelming public pressure.

The Football Black List was founded by Rodney Hinds and Leon Mann in 2008 and members are selected by an expert panel from the black community and football industry.
