Graeme Souness unveiled as manager of Proud United at Brighton Pride

Graeme Souness and Proud United – a team made up of LGBTQ footballers from across the nation – walked in the shadow of a colossal ‘Game Changer’ balloon at Brighton Pride this afternoon.

The Liverpool legend took up the role as the symbolic ‘boss’ of the team as they unveiled the largest inflatable ever used at a Pride Parade in the UK to call to attention the lack of visibility for LGBTQ players.

Right now there are no openly gay or bisexual players in the Premier League.
