Does being gay mean you can’t be a good footballer? No, says Burnley manager Sean Dyche | Goal.com

Burnley boss Sean Dyche says a player’s sexuality has no bearing on their ability or selection but understands why footballers choose not to come out as gay.

To date, there has not been an openly gay man in top-level British football, despite efforts to encourage LGBT equality and inclusivity in the game.

Former Aston Villa, West Ham and Germany midfielder Thomas Hitzlsperger has come out as gay but he did so only after his retirement in 2014.
