FA hand out 'respect' awards to clubs

The Football Association have awarded Chelsea for having the best disciplinary record in last season's Premier League campaign.

The former Premier League champions have been given a cheque for £30,000 for the club's foundation while league rivals Sunderland have been granted £20,000 for having the best behaved supporters.

The Championship has also been included, with Watford getting the 2011 Respect and Fair Play Award along with £10,000 for their community trust.

Rochdale are also amongst the clubs being recognised by the FA.
