Gay footballer to come out as the UKs first openly gay active player
 

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dai...interview.html

A major TV interview is apparently scheduled for next week

Is that wise

Good for him! Crazy it's taken until now for there to be any.

Not the first? 32 years ago Justin Fashanu came out

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-54617759

He was retired when he came out

i dont know why, in this day and age, it's interesting to anyone

No he retired in 1997

October 1990, he publicly came out as gay in an interview with the tabloid press, becoming the only prominent player in professional English football yet to do so. Although he claimed that he was generally well accepted by his fellow players, he freely admitted that they would often joke maliciously about his sexual orientation, and he also became the target of constant crowd abuse because of it.

Big Error
he made


Ended up committing suicide
2 May 1998 (aged 37)

Yes very sad

That's why this next person
is un wise

Nah times have changed..

Not in Football


More Hate Gays

He had just been charged with sexual misconduct against a 17 yr old boy.

That did not help

He is Age 17 years old Jake Daniels


Blackpool footballer

I hope thats not the case....I hope he is applauded.

Yes.

No one should feel like they have to live a lie and not be themselves.

[Blackpool forward Jake Daniels said he
has received "amazing support" from
his teammates after telling them about his sexuality.

He is the first professional player in British
men's football to come out publicly since Justin Fashanu.]

Fair ****s to him.

When Gareth Thomas came out as gay and also having HIV he said he felt really supported.

TC it is Tough
many fans hate Gays, to be fair.

Good for him, better to do it now than after being forced to stay in the closet for his career, that can cause a phenomenal amount of pain for people

not interested m8te

#Goalsnotholes.

But so many fans hate Gays
more than half of them
reports have said.
