He’s the player-manager of Thetford Town Football Club – and in many ways, Matt Morton’s influence in football extends beyond what he's managed to achieve on the pitch to the role-model he's become off it.

Because when Jake Daniels was considering coming out publicly, it was Matt that the Blackpool player turned to – and Jake wasn’t alone in that.

It’s because Matt was, for a number of years, one of the only out gay men in football who was willing to share his story – and it’s a pleasure to finally get Matt onto the show to talk about his journey and so much more besides.

We discuss his journey in football, his time as a player and as a manager, his personal journey away from the pitch, being visible and lots, lots more.

We think you’ll love this chat with Matt, and we’re really grateful to him for making the time to come on.
