FA Chief Executive Graham Kelly and Sports Minister Tony Banks are boycotting the English PFA awards dinner because of the union's ban on women. The PFA is refusing to let Rachel Anderson, who is the country's only female agent, attend Sunday evening's event because of her sex.

Kelly left last year's ceremony after Anderson was denied entry to the dinner and he will not be attending this year in protest. FA spokeswoman Katherine Knight claimed the association felt the PFA's stance was out of date.
