An analyst at a League Two club who has come out as gay has lamented the lack of progress within football when it comes to players and coaches having the courage to reveal their true sexuality.
Daniel Hutchings, part of the first-team staff at Stevenage, said gay people working within football will be 'stuck in a kind of limbo' until a high-profile player comes out.
In a Twitter message, Hutchings said: 'I've seen it first hand that it's so difficult to work within professional football and be openly gay.'
It came after the former Manchester United and France defender Patrice Evra claimed there are at least two gay players in every football team but they would be forced out the club if they came out.
