Quotes "We don’t count the years. We count the caps." "There are more important things than money." "I wish every gay footballer can come out and be accepted by everybody." "Society makes it really hard for the men but if you colour your hair green or red I don’t care. It’s your life." "I don’t have a problem with people talking to me and then asking for a picture. I don’t like it if they just take a picture. Then I feel like an animal in the zoo." "I’m a fan of working for [equality] and lots of teams are putting the effort in and playing good football … If we keep doing that we’ll get people in the stadiums and then we can fight for better conditions off the field."
