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.

[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.]

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
