Acting Football Association chairman Roger Burden has withdrawn his application for the permanent post over England's 2018 World Cup vote failure.
Burden, who was appointed in May, says he can no longer trust Fifa members after England lost out to Russia. He said:
"I recognise that an important part of the role is liaison with Fifa, our global governing body. I'm not prepared to deal with people whom I cannot trust and I've withdrawn my candidacy."
A pity no one at Fifa will give the slightest toss, but a dignified exit nonetheless.
