Good that he's come out but a shame he had to wait till he'd retired. Genuinely unsure how modern players would react. Is it such a big issue for people under 30? Or am I just basing that on a fairly unrepresentative sample of pinko liberal post uni students that I hang around with?
He was married , so obviously difficult issue to have lived with.Good luck to the lad, good player, decent intelligent bloke.Should be no issue for him in 2014 , wish him well
It's crazy today that actors, singers, politicians, business people etc etc can all be openly gay, but not footballers. I bet most of the posters on here couldn't care less what the sexuality of a player is.
What a shame it has to be an announcement.
