Pick of the Day

Rylan: Homophobia, Football and Me, TNT Sports 1

Streaming on Discovery+

TV personality Rylan takes a candid look at his own personal experiences with football as a gay man.

Raised as a West Ham fan and a member of the Junior Hammers supporters club growing up, Rylan quickly felt pushed out of the game due to homophobic attitudes.

In the documentary, released to coincide with LGBT History Month, Rylan interviews numerous figures from the game - past and present.

Former Aston Villa and Germany midfielder Thomas Hitzlsperger opens up after coming out as a gay man following his retirement while footballer-turned-pundit Rio Ferdinand discusses his use of a homophobic slur live on BBC Radio 1 and how his attitudes have changed.

Rylan also speaks to Arsenal women's player Jen Beattie, who explains the differing attitudes to homosexuality within the female game.
