In 2005, while researching the implications of the Civil
Partnerships Act, HM Treasury and the Department of Trade and
Industry concluded that 6% of the population of the United Kingdom
should be classed as gay; one in every 16.6 people and an estimated
3.5 million people in total. As of 2012, there are over 4,000
professional footballers currently playing the game in England
alone. Despite this, there are currently no openly gay professional
footballers in the country. However, to suggest that this issue is
exclusive to English football would be drastically wide of the
mark. In actual fact, this complete lack of openly gay professional
players can be observed throughout all of the top professional
football leagues across the world. 'A Culture of Silence' tells the
story of football's problematic relationship with homosexuality and
of the homophobia that, unquestionably, still plagues the sport.
