A former England international and Premier League star is reportedly 'in talks' with television producers over the prospect of coming out in a new tv documentary about gay professional footballers.
He is reportedly planning to shed light on his sexuality for the first time in a programme that is likely to be aired on Channel 4. High ranking members of the network have already held a series of meetings with the player alongside separate talks with agents and other players - both ones still playing and ones who have long hung up their boots.
The news comes just days after Blackpool star Jake Daniels bravely became the first active player to come out as gay in the English top-flight in more than 30 years - the last being the late Justin Fashanu. An insider told The Sun : "This documentary is going to be big and is the talk of the game at the moment.
