Andre Gray accepts he may forever be tarnished by the homophobic tweets he sent five years ago, but the Burnley striker hopes he can now be considered an example of how people can change.
The 25-year-old's world was turned upside down back in August as just hours after scoring his first Premier League goal against Liverpool, homophobic tweets he sent while still a non-league player back in 2012 resurfaced.
Gray was handed a four-game suspension from the Football Association and ordered to attend a mandatory education course before returning to the Clarets fold and scoring four times in the final two fixtures of 2016.
