    Alan Carr's Grandad was a Baggie

    There's a title I never thought I'd write.

    Alan Carr is on Desert Island discs.His grandad played for the Albion 1930/31. Injury stopped him playing for the first team else he could have been an Albion Cup Winner.

    Did a quick look on wiki and found his dad Graham Carr was the manager of Northampton. Also surprisingly I found that Alan was gay

    Weird ay it since Fashanu over 30 years ago I can only recall a couple of other gay footballers. Thomas Hitzlesperger from Villa and I think that Liverpool player was one. That's nearly 40 years.
    So to be honest if they ain't gonna stand up, come out and be proud in what they are then why should I subscribe to Rainbow laces and all the tother ****e.
