Gay footballer 'comes out'

World Football

Available for over a year

Anton Hysen, the Swedish footballer who this week announced that he's gay, discusses his decision to 'come out'. But is the often homophobic world of football ready to accept him? World Football also travels to Palestine for a match with huge symbolic meaning, as football plays its part in the struggle for independence. And the former England, Mexico and Lazio manager Sven Goran Eriksson reveals the most depressing moment of his career. Presented by Alan Green.
