I’ll put this very simply: Jake Daniels is the role model I wanted growing up.
When I knew I wanted to broadcast, I asked myself if I could work in football and be gay at the same time. You do ask yourself that, because there was never the impression within the game that you could.
I’m 30 now and had no gay footballers – those who did come out instantly retired or had already finished playing – and no gay commentators to relate to.
