🎊⚽️🏳️‍🌈 In what I believe is a world first in men’s pro or semi-pro football, a gay player who is currently active in the game has married his husband.

UD Sanse goalkeeper Alberto Lejarraga tied the knot with Ruben Fernandez in a stunning ceremony near Malaga a few weeks ago.

We’re horrified by images from Liverpool today.

We stand firmly with @kop-outs.bsky.social members and the wider LFC community.

On behalf of all at Pride in Football our thoughts are with victims and their families.

#YNWA #KopOuts #PrideInFootball #Solidarity
Kop Outs are deeply saddened by the horrific incident on Water Street. Some of our members had lucky escapes. We have had contact with most to confirm their safety. Can any of our members who have not yet confirmed their status, please advise.
