Ed Connell: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 08:41, 22 May 2013

Ed Connell, born 1972, is a lawyer, photographer, manager of London Titans FC, and campaigns officer for the Gay Football Supporters Network.

He was brought up in Surrey as a Roman Catholic, and felt isolated as a young gay person with no gay friends or relatives. He became a barrister in 1996, and has concentrated on criminal law, as a prosecutor, defender, and more recently a part-time judge. He came out aged 30, and joined the London Titans FC as a player (he had been a keen footballer at school but had not played since). He soon became a coach, and subsequently manager of the team. He has been very active in the campaign to rid football of homophobia.
