Many had expected him to pick up the main BBC Sports Personality of the Year award prize for 2020, but with other sporting achievements taking precedence he will now receive a special prize. He will pick the award at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year event in Salford on December 20. Barbara Slater, Director of BBC Sport said: “Marcus’s endeavour to give a voice to those who find themselves in a situation that he too is familiar with has been greatly admired and the panel wanted to ensure he was recognised for that. Clare Sillery, BBC Head of Commissioning for Documentaries, said: “Everyone will be familiar with the Marcus Rashford we see on the pitch but this documentary will offer a deeper insight into the man himself.
