“And, as revolutionary as it shouldn’t be, the fact that this is a novel about two professional footballers who engage in an openly gay sexual relationship is significant.” ⚽

As David Coote says, “there’s a lot to be done throughout football and more widely in society with regard to discrimination."

When there are still more front-page 'exclusives' about shame and fear than positive LGBTQ stories in the game, sections of the media should consider the part they play too.
