American Brian Vahaly is the only openly gay male player of modern times. He came out publicly last year - a decade after shoulder issues had forced him to retire aged 28.

Now happily married with two surrogate children, Brian has been telling Sportsworld's Sarah Mulkerrins how people said they were 'disgusted' with him and his family.
