The study, commissioned by Stonewall as part of the Rainbow Laces campaign, also found out that one in five 18- to 24-year-olds said they would be embarrassed if their favourite player came out.

"We need high-profile sports clubs and personalities to stand up as allies and help make sport everyone's game by showing that homophobic abuse has no place in sport."
