Man Utd director elected to FIFA executive committee

Manchester United director David Gill has been elected as Britain's FIFA vice-president. Gill will have a four-year term on FIFA's executive committee from May.

FA chairman Greg Dyke has said he wants Gill to be part of the "awkward squad" on FIFA asking tough questions and keeping an eye on financial decisions.

The new names on UEFA's executive committee include the former Croatia and Arsenal striker Davor Suker, and Boris Mikhailov, the former Reading and Bulgaria keeper who was renowned for wearing a wig even in matches.
