Patrice Evra has claimed he played alongside at least two gay players at every team throughout his career in football and has lifted the lid on some of the shocking attitudes of his team-mates towards homosexuality.
In an interview with French publication Le Parisien to coincide with the release of his autobiography, Evra made some stunning revelations about some of the views he encountered.
'When I was in England, they brought someone to talk to the team about homosexuality,' Evra explained. 'Some of my colleagues said "it is against my religion, if there is a homosexual in this locker room, let him leave the club" and other comments.
