Britain's Gay Footballers

05:00 - 06:00
documentaire

Of the current 5,000 professional footballers in Britain, none has come out publicly as gay. Amal Fashanu, niece of Justin Fashanu, the only ever openly gay British professional, goes on a mission to discover why no gay player has followed in her uncle's boots in over twenty years. With access to a fascinating and insightful cast of characters from within and beyond football, Amal probes the ugly underbelly of the beautiful game. She meets Matt Lucas, who has suffered and observed shocking homophobic abuse at football grounds, while Max Clifford reveals that he has helped several Premiership stars keep their homosexuality secret in order to preserve their careers. When Amal negotiates access to the Millwall dressing room she learns that attitudes amongst many footballers may not be as bad as she feared. Joey Barton expresses 'pity' for his fellow professionals who lack the courage to speak out on the subject, but blames the game's homophobia on the 'archaic figures' who run football.
