Former West Ham striker Leroy Rosenior has been awarded an MBE in the New Year’s honours list.
The London-born forward spent four years at West Ham between 1988 and 1992 during his career.
And for his services to tackling discrimination in football, Rosenior has been made an MBE.
Rosenior is the vice president of action group Show Racism The Red Card and he also works as a BBC pundit.

Rosenior joined the Hammers in 1988 from Fulham and went on to spend four seasons with the East London side.
However, he was loaned back to Fulham in the 1990/91 campaign and spent time on loan at Charlton Athletic during the 1991/92 season.
The once-capped Sierra Leon international, who received youth caps for England, scored 15 goals in just over 50 games in claret and blue.
Eventually, Rosenior was sold to Bristol City to end his time as a West Ham player in 1992.
Rosenior still remains a popular figure with West Ham fans, who fondly sing about his boots being made of gold.
Here are some tweets from West Ham fans congratulating their ex-hero on his MBE.
