like. a mug or just some us. food for the russian soul and it runs deep. so many different parts of life some are jumping. off a. boat coming straight from the heart. and turning from birth to death starts june 18th on g.w. . russian i. was.

i 40 years ago who scored the goal of the themes and then premix. i nearly 20 when he was inducted into the english football hall of fame. i. b.b.c. radio it's 6 o'clock the news was clearly kofi in. the form of football and i just in fashion has been found dead in the car on east london it's understood action in the city 7 died from strangulation. 9 years after fashion who had come out of the closet in 1900 aged 29 he was the 1st male professional footballer to openly say i and. i. i 1990 the year when his interest compared to its missed out on the well cup final

after losing to west germany. the year emma watson was born and $21.00 music in the charts sounded like this. band like this. but back to fashion and being homosexual in football for 30 years no precious few professional male footballers have come out ok there are only a handful and most of them not household names they include former. u.s.

international robbie rogers an australian. you say sure but after finishing his career and what about the other countless professional footballers around the world since a no show alleged in women's football homosexuality is not a big megan rapinoe from the u.s. from brazil sam kerr from australia all s.b.s. . and they are among the best the best in there for so man's top flight football not gay at all. most of our society's homosexuality has become much more normal than it used to be yes ok i know there are still countries where it is criminalized 71 and back but here in berlin for instance gay couples are a perfectly normal side on the street and in other places around the world to heterosexuals frequenting gay bars is not an issue on t.v. there are all gay dating shows such as finding prince charming or sex or movie industry same sex relations are more than socially acceptable and it's

a similar story with the music that. i was. who cares who jon is into or who ricky martin lives loci with man's football at least seems to exist in some parallel universe. to an ideal that has nothing to do with the real world and homosexuality it seems is it's a last well cup winner all of you who says sorry but it is impossible to display homosexuality in football then again you who has posed for a game magazine in the past so he's probably not the greatest homophobe ever.

oh. is football really a gay free zone while coming out in other sports are becoming increasingly normal take boxer ricardo and recruits and they felt they are michael sam rugby's gareth thomas n.b.a. stars jason collins and derek gordon swimming legend ian thorpe or a figure skater brian bull so no one in football do you buy that. let's take it back to justin fashion to a pioneer the 1st professional footballer to come out as page 17 he played in the english 1st division which is today's premier league foreign origin for the early eighty's he was a top young talent i think it's. comparable to what your own failings is that atletico madrid today or frankly the young at barcelona every football fan knew fashion was a name in 1901 he signed for nottingham forest forest for among europe's elite

after being crowned european champions twice in a row it's one of the joyful english clubs in europe and for the joy that forrestal the biggest of european football stages. in the summer of 1000 anyone just in fashion who was the world's 3rd most expensive transfer he was the 1st black player to command a 1000000 pound transfer fee this sense similar shock waves throughout the football world has kept has moved to chelsea in 201818 1000000 euros for a goalie order 87000000 paid by man united for harry maguire i defender back to 981 fashion with his exceptional talent he could have conquered the world but fate took a different turn his coach brian koloff considered him overconfident and self-indulgent and decided to have fashion details and sources reported back something outrageous at least for the expensive new signing has been cited in gay bars. what did the

coach do he gathered together the entire team and called fashion to a bloody proof in front of everyone pretty old school stuff here a scene from today's perspective but nothing unusual for the times in britain and elsewhere even later on only partly regret it was in his 1995 autobiography it wasn't wrong to point out his sexual orientation but i should have done it privately question his performances on the pitch suffered you don't already been the target of racist chant now there were also homophobic slurs. and here we have one of the reasons that our side to this day about why footballers don't come out it's the fear of getting abuse in stadiums that hang on what should black players say then should they stop their careers or is being harassed because of their homosexuality different to abuse because of your skin color. your always says it's a possible to display being gay puts forward the following argument there is a lot of testosterone in the locker room to get collective showers it's tricky

tricky but excuse me only view impossible to change so to stick say between 3 and 10 percent of the world's population is homosexuals or. no translate this to football still thinks no one's gave come on back to fashion week under 21 thing with international dealt with his dilemma through denial he told his coach he would get married to a woman soon he became a born again christian but his life as a gay man continued which is a logical as a way what if you were told to suppress one of your most private sphere is your sexual orientation. in the football world today it still seems to be suppressed many internalized the testosterone fueled world talks about take. a female reporter asked him to comment on an intimate looking photo of him and be good his answer have a look of yes she must have a dedicated monday i've come. to my house and i'll show you how gay i am and bring

your sister too. then there are homophobic fans of course it's true you will also see gay friendly banner is in many stands today some teams even support the l.d.p. team flag on their shirts but everyone who has been to a stadium in recent years knows the chance fashion no one's had to listen to have not fully disappeared like in the early. speaking of the early eighties 1982 to be precise the dispute with fashion was co-chaired reached a new level he was banned from training police eventually had to escort fashion off the training ground his time at nottingham forest was over the u.k. decriminalised homosexual acts between man and private in 1987 but homophobia remains widespread and not just in the u.k. in fact the world health organization only stopped calling it a mental disorder is that early ninety's bancroft later admitted that he had failed to support his place or i had a responsibility towards him because he was under my jurisdiction as the manager of

the club and i gave him nothing just international career went further downhill after a loan spell it southampton he played at notts county his market value had gone down by more than 80 percent well for want of proof from their team and the eighty's he had lost his magic on the pitch also it further clubs in brighton and the us and canada living his gay lifestyle or what still praying to the lord asking for forgiveness tashan has taken has all the ingredients for a netflix documentary and little wonder there is one. today's football world offers a stark contrast especially with the flawless life shown on instagram but if you take a closer look you'll see that a lot of the imagery is like that traditionally associated with gay men's magazines psychologists also point to another aspect of coming out as a homosexuals and that doesn't have to do with instagram footballers create their

own brands they often censor on masculinity and being a real man so aftershave don't sell if you come out the same guys who pretend to have been struck by a tornado when they're tackle fairly the same guys who roll over and gently pushed they are supposedly the real man so why don't more of the corners to come out of the closet there are repeated rumors and speculation but not much more 30 years after a fashion some say there are even agencies paid to find the wives of convenient players but almost everything around today's footballers and homosexuality remains a mystery what i do know for sure though if a player were to come out and let's assume it would be a top level guy known internationally i swear that in today's world it would only be one day and the next weekend you would see thank you banner is in the stands and a lot of people would be relieved fashion who had this coming out moment in 1900 he sold his story 480000 pounds to a tabloid paper this brother john also

a professional footballer had offered him the same amount not to go public just and then started to make up stories attracted by the easy money that comes with them he loved the attention he got passion to become a regular guest on talk shows after years of traveling the world as a journeyman he ended up as a youth coach in the us state of mary land in 1990 s. after being accused of sexually assaulting a 17 year old boy fashion who fled back to their freshman heard reports of an international war and tension issued for his arrest on may 3rd british t.v. announced just in special news the sound in the ground was a nice one. in many places around the world his tragic story seems like from another time but why did most of the world has come a long way been overcoming its homophobia the football world is lying behind and apparently it will continue to do so for the time being what do you think why does it still refuse to face real.
