Community homeless champion and Footballing genius receives MBE

Former Stoke City manager Lou Macari who launched a homeless charity 10 years ago, has received his MBE from the Prince of Wales at an investiture at Windsor Castle.

Lou Macari, who founded the Macari Foundation, was recognised in the King's Birthday Honours for his football career and dedication to tackling homelessness.

The charity, which runs the Macari Centre in Stoke-on-Trent, said the honour was "richly deserved”.
