Revocation of honours
[edit]In August 2023, Dario Gradi was formally stripped of the MBE he had been awarded in the 1998 New Year Honours, after he was "effectively banned for life" by The Football Association for his part in the United Kingdom football sexual abuse scandal.[299][446]
Individuals who have declined honours
[edit]In August 2016, former Liverpool player Howard Gayle, the first black footballer to play for the club, revealed he had turned down an MBE for his work with Show Racism the Red Card, stating that it would be "a betrayal to all of the Africans who have lost their lives, or who have suffered as a result of Empire."[447]
