Footballer supported

-

THE Duke of Cambridge has posted a personal message of support to Blackpool footballer Jake Daniels, who has revealed he is gay.

The 17-year-old forward became the first British man in the profession­al game to come out publicly since Justin Fashanu in 1990.

William, who is president of the FA, said: “Football should be a game for everyone. What Jake has done takes courage and will hopefully help break down barriers that have no place in our society.’’
