"I am not homophobic" - Michael Johnson speaks out

Reya El-Salahi

Available for over a year

Former Jamaican international and Notts County player Michael Johnson has been speaking out for the first time since stepping down from the Football Association's Inclusion Advisory Board earlier this month. The ex-footballer left the equality panel following criticism over comments he made on a BBC programme in 2012 describing homosexuality as "detestable". In this extract he tells the BBC's Reya El-Salahi that he's been unfairly targeted.
