Analysis
BBC sports editor Dan Roan
Three years ago - in front of the same parliamentary committee, Greg Clarke was criticised for referring to institutional racism as "fluff". He apologised after being chastised by MPs and reminded that language matters.
It appears the message did not get through.
Two weeks after the FA launched a new diversity code with the aim of finally tackling racial inequality in the game, such efforts have once again been called into question, despite Clarke always insisting it was one of his priorities.
Amid under-representation of BAME managers and board members, many critics will see Clarke's comments as evidence of the attitudes and language that has prevented the organisation from overseeing the progress hoped for in recent years, and it is no surprise that he has decided to step down.
There have been other awkward moments. In 2018, LGBT supporters group Pride in Football said it was "shocked" after Clarke signed a memorandum of understanding with the FA of Qatar, where homosexuality is illegal.
In July, he had to backtrack after claiming representatives of the Premier League and EFL had blocked plans to increase racial diversity on the FA Board.
Despite having barely been seen since the start of the year, Clarke was already under pressure over his role initiating secret talks over the Project Big Picture plans for a radical overhaul of the English game. Indeed earlier in the committee hearing, he was asked if his authority was "shot", something he strongly denied.
But then came his comments on diversity. Amid an unprecedented financial crisis for the sport and damaging divisions with fans, leagues and government, the FA chairman has now had to go over yet another controversy.
This is another grim day for the game, at the worst possible moment.

`` We both wondered how it ended up with us , and you can see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wait a good few minutes to restart as no-one had an idea where the ball was .
`` What we later saw on Match of the Day was Ederson , in disgust , booted it into the fans .
Little did we know this would be the match ball for the last game we could watch at Old Trafford for almost a year .

I can not wait to get back into Dean Court to watch the mighty Cherries again and feel that same rush and euphoria . ''
'The atmosphere was just one of an extended football family' Norwich fan Sarah Greaves , from South London , took her 12-year-old daughter Naomi to watch the Canaries beat Leicester 1-0 at Carrow Road on 28 February with her sister and father-in-law .

`` Looking back , the atmosphere was just one of family - a big , extended football family .
From people who sit near us talking about my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who 'd changed his flight home to make the game .
`` And now we watch the games but it 's not the same ; we send them messages but it 's not the same ; we wear our Norwich kit in South London on matchdays but it 's not the same and we see our seats in videos from the club or during matches and we ca n't wait to be back .
`` To be back with my football family and back in my football home - the noise at that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a pretty emotional experience . ''
'Memorable for all the wrong reasons' David Clift , 89 , from St Albans , has been a Southampton supporter for 75 years , watching his first match at Fulham in 1945 .

`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a great day out , Villa put up a good fight but we held on to win the game , '' says Jonathan . ''
Covid-19 was 'in the news ' and we were wary of getting the Tube , say , but really the crowds were so different to what was soon to be the norm with the first lockdown .

`` We got a deserved goal back from Paul Mullin but could n't grab a winner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ save . ''

`` It was on all of our bucket lists and even with the threat of getting stuck in Barcelona for upwards of two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

'Embodiment of why we love football'
Will and Jessica Slinger watching Argentine side San Lorenzo de Almagro
Bournemouth fans Will and Jessica Slinger, both 30, from London, travelled to Argentina for their honeymoon and watched San Lorenzo de Almagro beat Lanus 4-3 in Buenos Aires on 8 March. Former Newcastle captain Fabricio Coloccini played for the home side.
"The crowd were awesome - passionate, vocal and partisan to the end," says Will. "People noticed we weren't singing along and were delighted to find out we were British - we were welcomed heartily into the fold, with rumours going around that we were members of the UK's chapter of San Lorenzo fans.
"It was an amazing experience, the embodiment of why we love football so dearly. I cannot wait to get back into Dean Court to watch the mighty Cherries again and feel that same rush and euphoria."
'The atmosphere was just one of an extended football family'
Norwich fan Sarah Greaves, from South London, took her 12-year-old daughter Naomi to watch the Canaries beat Leicester 1-0 at Carrow Road on 28 February with her sister and father-in-law. Just a month earlier, Sarah's late father Barry, a lifelong Norwich fan, had gone viral after he left £100 in his will for the players to have a drink on him.

"What a game, what a night," says Sarah. "In the club shop after the game there were fans from New York and Teemu Pukki fans from Finland - the atmosphere was just intense and joyous.
"Looking back, the atmosphere was just one of family - a big, extended football family. From people who sit near us talking about my dad to the guy from New York who'd changed his flight home to make the game.
"And now we watch the games but it's not the same; we send them messages but it's not the same; we wear our Norwich kit in South London on matchdays but it's not the same and we see our seats in videos from the club or during matches and we can't wait to be back.
"To be back with my football family and back in my football home - the noise at that first game back is going to be a pretty emotional experience."
'Memorable for all the wrong reasons'
David Clift, 89, from St Albans, has been a Southampton supporter for 75 years, watching his first match at Fulham in 1945. The last match he was at was the 9-0 loss to Leicester on 25 October 2019.
"This was memorable for me for all the wrong reasons and I sincerely hope I shall be able to erase it from my memory and see them win again," says David.
"Covid-19 has seriously interfered with that and as I am 89 it may be very difficult for me to make the journey from my home. My son has promised to take me but who knows when we will be able to do it. I live in hope.
"My father was a Saints supporter starting in 1906, and my grandparents before that back to about 1890 so about 130 years in total and my son is carrying on the tradition."
'We met Jose'
Dave Freeman, 58, from Chipping Norton, travelled to Germany to watch Tottenham play RB Leipzig in the Champions League last 16 on 10 March. Spurs lost the game 3-0, and the tie 4-0 on aggregate, but Dave, his son Joe and friend 'Quinny' ended up bumping into Spurs boss Jose Mourinho.

"While we were out socialising we saw a group coming towards us in full Spurs livery and it was Jose and his team - it would have been rude not ask for a photo," says Dan. "I'm sure Jose fondly remembers our meeting!
"The game the next day was best forgotten. I miss every game, the travel, and particularly the European away games."
'My daughter thinks a 3-2 away victory is a normal football experience'
Dan Gardiner with his daughter at Grimsby away
Dan Gardiner, 46, from Suffolk, took his nine-year-old daughter to watch Grimsby win 3-2 at Colchester on 11 February. It was her first night match and she saw Charles Vernam score a hat-trick, including the League Two goal of the season.
"The game was special for a few reasons and looking back it makes it even more special as this is something we just can't experience at the minute," says Dan.
"The slight downside is my daughter thinks a 3-2 away victory is a normal football experience and keeps asking when we can go again."
'My last normal photo before lockdown'
Jonathan Sealby, 45, living in Somerset but originally from Lymm, went to watch Manchester City in the Carabao Cup at Wembley on 1 March. He watched with his son, who was celebrating his 11th birthday, and dad, as City beat Aston Villa 2-1.
"What was special is that we had a great day out, Villa put up a good fight but we held on to win the game," says Jonathan." Covid-19 was 'in the news' and we were wary of getting the Tube, say, but really the crowds were so different to what was soon to be the norm with the first lockdown.
"I'm so glad we got to that game, as I don't know when we'll be able to go again.
"I remember posting this photo on Facebook as part of 'my last normal photo before lockdown' because it starkly shows how different things were."

'El Clasico was a pretty spectacular way to go out'
Aston Villa fans Mark Attwood, Ian Tetsill and John Preece, all 51, from Kingswinford, West Midlands, managed to get tickets to watch Real Madrid play Barcelona in El Clasico on 1 March. The trip, planned the previous year, ended up coinciding with the Carabao Cup final.
"Reluctantly, with flights, hotel and tickets booked in Madrid, we gave our cup final tickets to our daughters and ended up watching the Villa game in an Irish bar, just down the road from the Bernabeu," says Mark. "We managed to see the whole game just before setting off to take our seats for El Clasico.
"If you had known that you were going into an enforced period of not being able to go to matches then this was a pretty spectacular way to go out. The atmosphere was electric - easy to see why this is one of the biggest games in the world. It was played in torrential rain and both teams were closing in on the league title - Madrid won 2-0."

'Meeting my Chilean hero'
Connor O'Reilly, 21, from Bishops Stortford, watched his Cambridge United side lose 2-1 at Leyton Orient on 7 March. A chance meeting with Orient's Chilean keeper Lawrence Vigouroux was the highlight for Connor, who is half-Chilean.
Connor O'Reilly and Lawrence Vigouroux
"I travel up and down the country with my Chilean flag with the Cambridge logo in the middle, and as the Orient team were training in front of the away end, he saw the flag and came over." says Conor. "We had a chat and shared a photo and for me it felt special to see him doing well for a decent Orient side.
"The game itself started and 1,256 fans packed into the away end chanting for the whole game. We played poorly, and went into the half 2-0 down but it didn't stop the fans singing all game long.
"We got a deserved goal back from Paul Mullin but couldn't grab a winner, with Vigouroux making an incredible last-minute save."
'My four-year-old daughter met Clucas'
Simon Bailey, 42, from Newcastle-under-Lyme, took his wife Claire and their then four-year-old daughter Abigail to watch Stoke beat Hull 5-1 on 7 March at the bet365 Stadium.
Abigail at Stoke City
"What made this really special, even more than it being the last game that Stoke fans could attend, was that it was the first match that my wife Claire went to watch and the third match for Abigail, who saw her favourite player Sam Clucas score two goals," says Simon.
"Now five years old, Abigail loves football and is looking forward to going to a Stoke match again when it is safe."
'Bucket-list game'
Matthew Crouch, 26, from Portsmouth, travelled to Barcelona to watch Lionel Messi score as they beat Real Sociedad 1-0 on 7 March.
"My friends and I had discussed going to Barcelona to watch Messi in his prime for close to a decade," says Matthew. "It was on all of our bucket lists and even with the threat of getting stuck in Barcelona for upwards of two weeks we were not cancelling the trip.
"Every time he had the ball at his feet, the entire stadium would fall quiet. You felt the anticipation and expectation he would do something special every time. It's something that you will stay with me forever.
"Looking back it was not the best game of football I had ever watched live, but it felt a privilege to be there. Thinking back to the atmosphere still gives me tingles."

'Felt like I was passing on the baton'
Martin Crow took his four-year-old daughter Scarlet to watch her first Sunderland match at the Stadium of Light as they drew 2-2 with Gillingham on 7 March 2020.
Martin Crow and Scarlet at the Stadium of Light
"It was a really special occasion for me given that I went to my first game at the same age and had a season ticket since the age of eight," says Martin.
"Taking Scarlet for the first time felt like I was passing on the baton to the next generation and it was particularly special given we sat with my parents, who are both incredibly passionate about Sunderland and their granddaughter.
"This image was taken at the end of the game. I don't think she wanted to leave! Sharing something that's so special to you with your children just can't be expressed in words."
'Fortunate to do something we no longer take for granted'
For his 50th birthday, Matthew Spillum, from Saint Paul, Minnesota, and his wife Reene travelled to Liverpool to watch the Reds beat Bournemouth 2-1 on 7 March.
"It was a wonderful birthday gift from Renee, made even more extraordinary by the events that rapidly transpired," says Matthew.
"Looking back, I feel fortunate to have had this opportunity, not only to have had the thrill of watching a game at Anfield during the title season, but to have been able to do all those things that we can no longer take for granted - a packed stadium, a crowded but cosy pub, live music, museums, travel - right on the cusp of everything changing so dramatically.
"In so many ways, it feels like it was the last possible international vacation. In many ways, I almost feel fortunate that the world changed so swiftly afterwards, as I feel like I appreciate the trip so much more.
"We live six blocks from Minnesota United's Allianz Field, where we are season ticket holders. Though the MLS is playing on, it might as well be in Liverpool, as it is hard to maintain that day-to-day connection when the game is merely an online abstraction and not a matchday experience."

'Special trip with dad'
Wolves fan Tom Sperrink 34, took his dad to Spain to watch the Europa League last-32 second-leg tie against Espanyol on 27 February - fulfilling a dream to watch his side play in Europe. Wolves lost 3-2 on the night, but won 6-3 on aggregate.
Tom says: "The stadium was a quarter full, the tie was pretty much done and dusted (in our favour) but in truth it didn't matter because I'd been to Barcelona to watch Wolves win a competitive European knockout game with my dad, and having been at Brighton when we got relegated to League One a few years prior this would have been unfathomable.
"And that was that, Wolves won at Spurs the next week but I wasn't there and I saw our behind-closed-doors away tie to Olympiakos on TV (not realising this would soon be the norm)."

'From the moment we got home he asked when he could go again'
Dexter and Coby at Selhurst Park
Dom Moret, 39, from Carshalton, Surrey, watched Crystal Palace beat Watford 1-0 on 7 March at Selhurst Park with his sons Dexter (four) and Coby (now seven) and their grandad John.
"The game was special as it was Dexter's first ever match," says Dom. "He is the youngest of three brothers and has seen his brothers going to games since he was born so had been desperate to go to Selhurst himself.
"The game wasn't great, but he was instantly hooked by Selhurst's famous atmosphere and joined in singing Glad All Over as the team's came out. From our seats in the Holmesdale Road stand we were right behind Jordan Ayew's goal and Dexter went crazy when it hit the back of the net.
"From the moment we got home he was asking when he could go to his next game, and only a few days later we had to break it to him that it was unlikely to be any time soon.
"I'm so glad he got to go to a game before lockdown and Dexter's really pleased he now knows what his brothers have been talking about.
"My main ambition, once we're able to go back to live games again, is for me and 'Gramps' to take all three of the boys to a match together as a five for the first time. Fingers crossed for 2021."
'Hope to see Macclesfield back someday'
Plymouth Argyle fan Sarah Decent, 62, saw a 3-0 home win against Macclesfield Town on 7 March. Macclesfield Town were wound up in the High Court in September.
It was a special game at the time as there was such a positive vibe around the club. Unbeknown to all, this was the last Saturday of fixtures before lockdown and Argyle's last game too, sadder still for Silkmen fans, as it would be their last game ever.
Looking back I feel sad of course that our season couldn't continue. I really think we would have ended as champions - but we'll never know. We got our promotion to League One later and now I have to be satisfied with following their progress on a streaming service like all fans. I would dedicate this to the fans, management and players of Macclesfield Town, I hope to see you back someday.
'An opportunity to celebrate my dad's memory'
Leeds United fan Matt Thompson, 47, attended a 0-0 draw between Annan Athletic and Cowdenbeath at Galabankon 7 March 2020 in memory of his late dad.
Matt Thompson with friend Jonathan Coleman at Annan Athletic
"I discovered my dad had developed a bit of a 'thing' for Annan Athletic," says Matt. "Over the years, every time we drove past Annan we discussed going to watch a game.
"In 2018 dad was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia with Parkinsonism and we soon realised that it wouldn't be practical for us to visit Galabank as his physical condition was deteriorating. In 2019 he died of complications due to his illness. He was only 67.
"I decided to do what we had talked about and put off for so long and actually go and watch Annan Athletic play.
"I picked a game and emailed Philip Jones, the Annan chairman, who kindly put a short dedication in the match programme and spoke with me before the game to welcome me to the Galabank Stadium.
"Although the game was only a 0-0 draw, I enjoyed every minute of it and was worth the five-hour round trip my pal John and I made. I will be going back as soon as possible with my son."

UK out of recession but growth slows in September Published 12 November 2020

The UK's economy rebounded from recession in July to September, but growth showed signs of slowing down at the end of the three months.
Growth of 15.5% in July to September was the biggest on record, said the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
It came after a six-month slump induced by the first coronavirus lockdown.
However, growth was weaker in September than in the preceding months, while the country's economy is still 8.2% smaller than before the virus struck.
The economy had shrunk in the first three months of the year and then contracted by a record 19.8% in the April-to-June period. Two consecutive three-month periods of contraction are generally defined as a recession.
Despite the rebound in July to September, analysts warned that the economy was likely to shrink again in the final three months of the year because of the impact of renewed lockdowns in different parts of the country.
A second lockdown began in England on 5 November and is due to finish on 2 December.
Thomas Pugh, UK economist at Capital Economics, said that in view of what had happened since, the figures felt "not just like old news, but like ancient news".
"We already know that GDP will struggle to rise in October as tighter restrictions were imposed and that it will take a hammering in November as the effects of the second Covid-19 lockdown are felt."
What is happening in the economy?
In September, growth was 1.1%, marking the fifth consecutive month of expansion. However, that was weaker than the levels seen in previous months.
Jonathan Athow, deputy national statistician for economic statistics at the ONS, said all sectors of the economy continued to recover, albeit more slowly.
"The return of children to school boosted activity in the education sector. Housebuilding also continued to recover, while business strengthened for lawyers and accountants after a poor August.
"However, pubs and restaurants saw less business after the Eat Out to Help Out scheme ended and accommodation saw less business after a successful summer."
In another sign of the impact of the pandemic on the economy, figures released on Tuesday showed the unemployment rate rose to 4.8% in the three months to September, up from 4.5%.
The number of people out of work rose by 243,000 in the three-month period, the largest increase since May 2009.
How are businesses coping?
Welsh food packaging firm Transcend Packaging saw its sales collapse by half during the depths of the first lockdown.
But boss Lorenzo Angelucci says they have are now higher than they were at the start of the year - partly because the firm has started making personal protective equipment which kept sales buoyant.
"Obviously the beginning of the pandemic was pretty tough," he told the BBC. "It forced us to be creative and come up with other types of products."
The firm, which supplies clients such as McDonald's, expects to benefit in coming months as takeaway services remain open.
"Food packaging is by default safer in this situation, because people still need to eat," he said. "But the economy itself, I don't think will be in a very nice position for a long time."
Should we be cheered or worried?
Record growth for the UK economy in July to September is a welcome partial reverse from the record fall seen in the spring. It means that lights are going back on in the economy that were switched off in the first lockdown.
It is, though, catch-up not recovery. It is rebound more than it is established bounce-back. The economy is still nearly a tenth smaller than it was before the pandemic struck.
More than that, the data is a rear-view mirror on the economy. It reflects a period of falling infections, the boost to growth and to footfall from the chancellor's Eat Out to Help Out scheme. It shows the rate of this rebound slowing in September, even as there was a boost from the return of school pupils.
Since then, there has obviously been a further, though less extensive shutdown, but both the Bank of England and the Treasury have boosted the economy. The great bit of sunlight on the horizon, however, is the vaccine. That will be the biggest economic stimulus imaginable.

What has the government got to say?
In a BBC interview, Chancellor Rishi Sunak said it was going to be "a difficult winter", but there were "reasons for cautious optimism".
"Our priority remains to protect as many jobs as possible," he said, adding that the extension of the furlough scheme and the creation of the Kickstart job scheme for young people would help to do this.
He maintained that England would be able to exit its second lockdown as planned on 2 December.
"I am very confident that the measures we have put in place will do the job that we need them to do," he said.
What is GDP?
Gross domestic product (GDP) is the sum (measured in pounds) of the value of goods and services produced in the economy.
But the measurement most people focus on is the percentage change - the growth of the country's economy over a period of time, typically a quarter (three months) or a year.
If the GDP measure is up on the previous three months, the economy is growing. That generally means more wealth and more new jobs.
If it is negative, the economy is shrinking.
What more can economists tell us?
Samuel Tombs, chief UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said the economy was likely to shrink by about 0.5% in the final three months of the year.
"On a monthly basis, it probably won't recover to September's level until the spring, when it should be possible for Covid-19 restrictions to be sustainably relaxed," he added.
Looking further ahead, Sarah Hewin, chief economist at Standard Chartered bank, told the BBC there was "uncertainty" about the first three months of 2021, "particularly if we have trade disruptions related to Brexit as the transition period comes to an end at the end of the year".
Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey said news of a potential vaccine "reduced uncertainty" for business
What difference could a vaccine make to the economy?
Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey welcomed news that a possible Covid-19 vaccine had performed well in clinical trials: "It's encouraging for individuals, it's encouraging for businesses, and it's encouraging for the economy."
"The sooner that way out of Covid comes into effect, the more businesses are likely to survive in financial terms," he told the Financial Times in a video interview.
Mr Bailey said the news was "broadly consistent" with the Bank's latest set of economic forecasts, which assumed that the pandemic would start to recede after the winter as better treatments arrived.
