Only seventeen and he made his league debut for Blackpool on the final day of the season. At that age, he belongs to a generation that appears to have far less of a problem with issues of sexuality than ours has. That said, I’d like to think that he’ll be fine as far as his own age group goes and, although I may be proved completely wrong here, I don’t believe it will be as much of a problem with older fans as some may think - I wouldn’t be bothered in the slightest if a City player came out as gay.
