February marks LGBT+ History Month and football is joining in the effort to celebrate the community and remember its past within the sport.
Leading those efforts is the National Football Museum, which has a host of LGBT+ exhibits within its collection. At the centre of their work during the month, the museum is offering LGBT+ Tours, to give visitors a deeper understanding of the community's relationship with football.
The induction of the the late Justin Fashanu - English football's first openly gay professional footballer - into the museum's Hall of Fame in 2020 played a big part in those plans. As well as a kit from Fashanu's time as an England Under-21s player, the museum also features the Justin Fashanu Trophy.
