"Love always wins" - Trailblazing footballer Josh Cavallo opens up on coming out

Josh Cavallo has opened up on the "scary territory" he faced before coming out as gay as he insisted that "love always wins".

The Adelaide United star became the first active top-flight footballer to come out in October last year, receiving a wave of support from across the sport. Cavallo has become a key figure in supporting LGBT+ rights within football ever since he came out, which has seen him crowned Man of the Year at the Attitude Awards.

The fullback has done so in the face of homophobic abuse, including during an A League match last season.
