Greg Dyke

Chairman, The FA

British media magnate Greg Dyke is the current chairman of the FA. Dyke left grammar school with one ‘E’ grade A-level in Mathematics and was recruited by Marks and Spencer, who ‘let him go’ from his role as a trainee manager after only four months. After a short career as a newspaper reporter, he studied for a degree as a mature student, and then embarked on an extensive career in
broadcasting, culminating in the role of director-general of the BBC. Dyke accepted the FA position in July 2013, where he has overall responsibility for policy. Dyke has pushed for urgent action over the World Cup controversy in 2014, calling for ‘complete transparency’ from FIFA’s executive committee.
