David Gill left Manchester United in 2013

David Gill received a CBE and Chris Ramsey was awarded an MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours list.

Former Manchester United chief executive and Football Association vice-chairman Gill spent 10 years in his role at Old Trafford, overseeing the arrivals of the likes of Wayne Rooney and the Glazer family before departing in 2013 - the same year Sir Alex Ferguson retired as manager.

The 61-year-old went on to become FIFA vice-chairman under former President Sepp Blatter. He was a staunch critic of the controversial figure, and boycotted Blatter's inauguration for a fifth term in charge.

Ramsay, who has played and coached in every division of the football league, has been a champion for British black and minority ethnic coaches and he said he hopes his award will "open doors for other people".
