I've done a lot of talks in recent days to try to help people in Mental Health awareness week and one of the subjects that tends to come up is gay men hiding, particularly in sport, or struggling to come to terms with their sexuality - just like I myself did in my teens and through my twenties.
In the customary Q&A sessions that follow, I'm often asked 'Why footballers don't come out?'
Everyone is waiting to find out who the first big Premier League star will be. I always reply it's a matter of when, not if.
