Burnley striker Gray apologises for homophobic tweets

Burnley striker Andre Gray claims he is "a completely different person" after homophobic tweets he posted four years ago were widely shared.

Andre Gray has offered an "unreserved apology" for homophobic tweets he posted in 2012 that were shared on social media after the striker played a starring role in Burnley's 2-0 win over Liverpool.

Gray, Burnley's top scorer as they won the Championship title last season, created the opening goal for Sam Vokes at Turf Moor before opening his Premier League account with a well-taken second.

But his on-field contribution was quickly overshadowed after offensive social media posts made by the 25-year-old came to light.
