Rob Graham

Rob and I met over a decade ago when he was playing for Yorkshire Terriers and I was playing for London Titans. The hospitality offered to visiting clubs was legendary and we had many drunken nights together. Rob’s coming out story has many similarities with other guests in the series; struggling growing up as gay in a world where there was no talk of same sex relationships in school, no LGBT representation in the media and as a consequence feeling isolated and wishing he was straight. Rob also talks about the difficulties he has had with alcohol and how his partner helped him address what had become a problem.
