The Secret Footballer - a podcast by BBC Radio 5 live

An exclusive interview with The Secret Footballer - a professional player who writes anonymously about the game and has done since January 2011, credited with "lifting the lid on the world of football". In our interview he reveals the kind of racism which, he claims, happens routinely at clubs. He also says that if he were gay, he wouldn't come out for fear of abuse from away fans. And he gives an insight into the psyche of some strikers who can be more concerned with how they play themselves, rather than how their team performs.
