He called black players "coloured" which is why most of the news media said he resigned. However it is his other dinosaur comments including:
1. Being gay is a "life choice".
2. There is a lack of women’s goalkeepers due to girls not liking the ball being kicked at them.
3. “If you go to the IT Department of the FA, there’s a lot more south Asians than there are Afro-Caribbeans. They have different career interests.”

Conservative MP Julian Knight, the chair of the committee, said that Clarke was “right” to apologise but noted “this isn’t the first time the FA has come to grief over these issues”.In a previous session of the DCMS committee in 2017, when Clarke had been summoned to discuss racial discrimination in football, he described accusations of institutional racism at the FA as “fluff”.
