It's an idea for a novel I've had floating about for a few years now, but haven't ever got round to start writing.
I'm British and my book would be set within British football and the London gay scene.
For those that don't know, British football is notoriously homophobic, from crowd abuse to potential rejection from fellow professionals the only player to truly come out saw his career destroyed and was eventually driven to suicide.
There are obviously very very few openly gay professional football/soccer players. Those that are, very much keep it hidden. Partially inspired by the tragic tale of Justin Fashanu and my own experience as an outsider within amateur football, I think there would be a good story to tell.
What do people think?

What does it matter? I'm not trying to start anything but I just don't see the point in even asking or caring if a player is gay or not.

I think I would rather focus on their skills on the footy pitch rather than their pitch on....um I dunno, than something else!
