Sterling honoured at British Ethnic Diversity Sports Awards

Raheem Sterling has been awarded the sportsman of the year at the 2019 British Ethnic Diversity Sports Awards.

The England international has been hailed as “a trailblazer” and “an iconic British sports star” for speaking out about racism in football.

Sterling, 24, called receiving the award a “massive honour”.

Arun King, the founder of the awards, hailed the Manchester City winger’s impact.

“He is undoubtedly one of the UK’s most thrilling talents. He is a trailblazer in his fight against racism. We are proud that he has become an iconic British sports star who represents so much for BAME communities and the entire sporting community, and will do for generations to come.”

Sterling was presented with the award on Saturday at a ceremony in London.
