Thetford Town's Matt Morton says he is happy to be a rarity in the men's game - an out gay footballer - as he shares his story on #ComingOutDay | @jonboy79
The response to this today has been incredible .... need to take time off work to reply to all the amazing messages .... hopefully this give anyone observing huge confidence for their own situations
Thanks for all the kind words. The full @itvnews interview with @AndyWardITV can be viewed here: youtu.be/_n6GC4J_THI Iโm just happy to see how many people are finding comfort and strength from it all. The aim was to help people and it seems to be doing that already 1/2
You go back a few years and someone would have been certified if they suggested @ThetfordTownFC had anything close to the best pitch in the league but from what I have seen so far itโs going to take some beating. Amazing work behind the scenes from @DarrenIlesey & @nigelcarmes ๐๐ฝ
Iโm now officially supporting @ChrisEubankJr in this fight. What the hell kind of role model thinks itโs acceptable to start trying to insinuate someone is gay in a press conference? First of all what relevance does it have? Secondly what business is it of his?
Last night, I had the privilege of talking to @ThetfordTownFC player-boss @MattMorton16.
He's one of the only openly gay footballers in the country, and he's now hoping his journey will encourage others to come out.
His inspirational story will be on @itvanglia at 6pm ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
so we did it! 10 years, 27 trophies, countless records broken and priceless memories made along the way. Thank you to everyone who has supported us & shown us respect, thank you to so many good opponents who have battled against us the right way like Tostock, Brandon, Ferals ....
So proud of you โฆ@Jake_Daniels11โฉ โฆ.. you are a brave, talented and inspirational young man with a huge future in the game! Canโt wait to watch your feet do the talking in whatโs no doubt going to be an exciting career ahead #mylilbroskysports.com/football/news/โฆ
Iโm incredibly proud of our players who have today decided they want to donate their wages from this Saturdays cup match to Adamโs recovery fund ... they are a nightmare to manage but are a great bunch of people too @ThetfordTownFC
