Sir Elton Makes Gay Cricket Star Fizz With Pride

  • 15 March 2011

Sir Elton John treated Britain's first openly gay cricket star to a bottle of champagne in celebration of his 'coming out'.
Steven Davies braved a possible backlash from cricket fans when he revealed his true sexuality last month (Feb11), making him the sport's first openly gay player.
Davies has received support from his fellow players and the British public, and his joy of being accepted was topped up by the Rocket Man's kind gesture.
In a post on his Twitter.com page, Davies writes, "Sir Elton John has just sent me champagne! Wow!"
