Blackburn Rovers Jason Roberts has today been honoured in the New Years honours list.
J-Rob has received an MBE for ‘Services to the Community’ for the work his foundation does for kids in London & Grenada.
Jason is from Grenada and spends a lot of the summer over there working with children and also recently set up the Jason Roberts Foundation which is geared towards getting young people off the streets and into sport (football specifically).
Let me be the first to say congratulations to Jason and a massive well done.
You deserve it.

I don’t agree with this honours sytem but it does make me smile when someone deserving of it actually gets an award, well done mate!
Good for him. He doesn’t do the charity work for such recognition but he obviously deserves it.
