Collyer’s football show their support with rainbow laces
As part of this, a number of Premier League players and managers nationally have been wearing rainbow laces this season to show their support and Collyer’s students and staff were keen to get involved in the campaign.
College sports maker John Burroughs explained: “The rainbow laces show of unity against homophobia is an important message and it is fantastic that Collyer’s football can join forces with clubs like Arsenal and many top footballers and coaches in the game in actively trying to kick out homophobia.”
