Roadmap to coming out as gay or bisexual in Premier League Football explored in new digital documentary Football's Coming Out will premiere on All 4 and Channel 4's YouTube account later in January. In a brand-new digital documentary, Channel 4 asks why, in one of the world's most popular sport, there are still such barriers to top footballers being openly gay or bisexual. Football's Coming Out investigates the challenges that a Premier League football player might experience if they chose to publicly come out. Produced by Bullion Productions, this 1x60' detailed documentary will not only explore what the roadmap to coming out might look like, but how fellow players, fans, press, social media and financial donors might react to the news, the pressures they might face, all whilst reviewing what has previously happened through historical case studies and archive footage. Across the series, viewers will hear from an array of prolific voices from the world of football as they discuss what the experience for an LGBTQ+ player might look like. Talking heads include Leeds United striker, Patrick Bamford; former Premier League manager Ian Holloway; Britain’s highest-ranked openly gay footballer for Thetford F.C., Matt Morton; ex-Premier League footballer, Joleon Lescott; Amal Fashanu, niece of Justin Fashanu and founder of The Justin Fashanu Foundation; Lee Clayton, Head of TalkSport; football agent Georgie Hodge and Jon Smith, super-agent and agent to Maradona, amongst many others.
