OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Ex-Celt: I know 12 gay aces Ex-Celt: I know 12 gay aces By GRANT ROLLINGS Published: 18 Oct 2008 rigTeaserImage EX-Celtic ace Paul Elliott has said he knows 12 football stars who are gay. But he said they have not come out of the closet for fear of homophobic chants. Elliott, 44 — now an anti-racism campaigner — said: “I’ve known a dozen players who are gay. I understand why they do not want to come out. Like racism, there is no place for homophobia in sport.” Portsmouth defender Sol Campbell, 34, was subjected to unfounded gay slurs from Spurs supporters last month. Elliott branded it “unacceptable” and called for those fans to get life bans. He was at an FA event on Thursday titled Homophobia: Football’s Final Taboo. BBC sports reporter Bob Ballard, who chaired the talk, criticised Chelsea boss Phil Scolari for once saying he’d kick gays out of his team. Ex-Norwich striker Justin Fashanu is the only Brit to have come out. He killed himself in 1998. Notice the "rigTeaserImage" bit at the start. What's that about?

MisterC 12,262 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 If it is true then the NOTW who have the story need to break it (no pun intended!) pretty soon. They have been sitting on it for a few weeks now so expect something soon... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proctor went to the same school as my wife. His curly hair might prove his gayness...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
radlord 24 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Ho ho. I don't expect this thread to survive much longer Anyway i think it's deeply fucking sad that gay guys can't come out if they are professional sportsmen. There's only really been a handful, and of those Fashanu killed himself, and so did that wrestler last year (what was his name again? The one that was suing the WWE for unfair dismissal?)

HighlandBear 1 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Brewster likes a bit of both so the story goes. The toilets in the Heathmount hotel inverness are meant to be a hot spot for CB, allegedly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
