FA Chairman 'gifted' six watches

Football Association chairman Greg Dyke says he has received six watches since taking over the role in July 2013.

Dyke, 67, made the revelation after the controversy of the Brazilian Football Federation (CBF) giving away £16,000 watches at the 2014 World Cup.

"I've been given about six watches since I took over at the FA and I don't use any of them. I don't like the culture of present giving in football," Dyke said.

CBF's sponsors gave the watches to 32 association chiefs, 28 Fifa executive committee members and five other members of South American associations.

World football's governing body has asked officials to return the watches as the commemorative gifts broke its code of ethics.

Dyke says he will return his and has called for the culture of giving such gifts to stop.

He received a watch when England recently played "Everywhere you go, every time you have a game they give you some sort of present. It's usually trinkets," he said.

"But if they are going to start giving presents of £16,000 then that is not acceptable.

"Therefore, I think the FA should lead the way by saying: 'Look, we are not going to be part of this culture anymore. We are not going to give presents or accept them'."

Dyke also played down the prospect of his job at the FA being at risk because of the controversy.

"I don't think having a watch that you have no idea the value of and have never used is a resigning matter," he added.
