Former rugby referee Nigel Owens has expressed his hurt after receiving a vile homophobic letter in the post.
The Welshman, who holds the record for refereeing the most test matches, came out as gay in 2007 and admitted he had previously tried to kill himself as he came to terms with his sexuality.
Owens, 51, retired from rugby last year and is now focused on his life on his farm in Wales.
