This morning listen to an exclusive interview with The Secret Footballer - who has written a weekly column since January 2011 billed as "lifting the lid on the world of football". In our interview - which goes out on BBC 5 live at 10am today - he tells us about the kind of racism which, he claims, happens routinely at clubs across the country, he tells us that if he were gay he wouldn't come out for fear of abuse from away fans - and gives a fascinating insight into the psyche of some strikers who can be more concerned with how they play than how their team performs.
