I can think of lots who are def. gay but due to libel & slander laws can't be named!! They don't come out as a majority of supporters are homophobic idiots who seem to think that if a player is gay and he supports that team he'll be seen as gay too!!ridiculous I know.
The laws of average are underestimated and more people are gay than admit (even to themselves!).
There are lots of footballers who are even married with kids and are your typical blokey morons that are closeted gays. A lot are national idols with women hanging off them and sleep with a dif woman every night-doesn't stop them being gay behind closed doors & wont make it go away! They'd probably play a bit better too if they were out and happy instead of hiding & miserable!! As a gay person I wish they would,they'd be much happier.

Im pretty sure their are a fair few homosexual premier league football players already though not openly. Personally i couldnt care less what the footballer is so long as he plays good football for my team does it really matter.

You say the law of averages 10% should be, but that doesn't quite work because then you could say only 10% of Air Stewards and Interior Designers are gay!
However there's Sol Campbell, I have a friend who works for the Sun and said that one's for sure.
The others are likely: Freddy Ljungberg, Henry, Gallas recently came out, Cissy Fabricass, Van Pansie, Al-moon-ya.

There was a huge rumor going around that Emile Heskey is. There was also the Ashley Cole rumor going along with the Graham Le Saux one as well. As far as I know, John Fashanu was the only brave person to come out. I know he said he knew of at least 12 gay players when he was playing. I can't blame gay footballers for not coming out, i think their career would be over before they knew it.

You are right .... the law of averages means that some must be but really, why is it relevant? Do you go around telling the world who you are having sex with? Not everyone wants to be a campaigner....

If there is 10% like you say, what difference would it make to anyone if they did come out. Surely it is up to the individual if they want all in sundry to know (ALL) their business. I know they get paid lots of money, BUT, they also have a lot to put up with, some of those paparazzi are relentless (remember princess Di). If they found out something like that their lives would be over. So if any Football Players in the Premier League have any SECRETS let them keep them SECRET. SHHHHHHHHHHHH.

The rumour is Sol Campbell - and it seems to have a really strong sense of truth to it.
There are quite a few rumours surrounding the winking fairy at ManUre.
There are probably a lot more but i doubt that they'll ever admit it

Personally i don't know any, but as you say there has to be a handful. But as football is seen as such a newsworthy sport if any of them came out, it would be front page headlines for weeks, so it wouldn't be worth all the hassle.

John O'shea (I think!) - is he still in premier league?
and I'll have a tenner on Christiano Ronaldo... didn't he turn down Gemma Atkinson?
Perhaps they don't 'come out' because of all the extra media attention they would get... not all footballers like to be high profile like Beckham.
