'I hope sharing my coming out story may have some resonance, and help even one person that may be battling the same as I did'.

That was the email we got, out of the blue, from Greg McLean - the founder of St Margaret's Old Boys FC and a referee with the Liverpool County FA - and when someone says that to you, you know you just HAVE to get them on the podcast.

We're so glad we did - because we think Greg says things a lot of you will be able to relate to, from the fear of coming out to team-mates, to the isolation that can come with being LGBT in sport at a grass-roots level, to what it meant to be accepted by his team-mates.

And as for his predictions about Liverpool's title chances - well, we'll let you be the judge on that!
