Dave Richards apologises over FIFA and UEFA comments
SIR Dave Richards apologised yesterday for claiming that FIFA and UEFA had “stolen” football from England.
Premier League chairman Richards made the remarks at a conference in Qatar on Wednesday from which the Premier League and Football Association moved quickly to distance themselves.
He said: “I was asked about the heritage of the game, I would never want to offend FIFA or UEFA. I used a word which was, looking back, probably inappropriate but it is the way I am.”
