About this listen
Sam Stanley made headlines when he went public with his homosexuality in The Sunday Times in 2015.
The former England 7s, Saracens and Ealing Trailfinders player hails from a rugby dynasty, headed by his uncle, ‘Smokin’ Joe Stanley, who won the inaugural Rugby World Cup with New Zealand.
Sam looks back on a life where rugby played a huge role, but where he felt he couldn’t give his best and also kept his true self hidden for so long that he considered suicide.
He talks about how the trust of a long-time friend and his partner led to him letting people know the real Sam, how his teammates reacted, and what the fallout was (spoiler, it features Elton John).
