'West Ham players said: "If my team-mates are gay they have to go, I won't shower with them"': Patrica Evra makes astonishing claim that homophobic stars called for transfers after a talk on inclusivity

Patrice Evra has claimed that some of his former West Ham United team-mates would not shower with gay players and would even call for them to leave the club.

The former Manchester United star spent a brief spell at the end of his career at the Hammers in 2018 after joining as a free agent, playing five games before retiring that summer.

But the former French international has recalled how an official from the FA came to the Hammers to give a talk on inclusivity, with some of his team-mates at the time allegedly responding negatively by not agreeing with accepting homosexual players at the club.
