WONDERKID

WONDERKID is a short film which tackles one of football's biggest issues - homophobia. Starring Chris Mason and featuring Sky Sports' Martin Tyler, Alan Smith and Geoff Shreeves, the film depicts the inner turmoil of a gay professional footballer.

After earning a dream move to a London Premier League club, ‘Wonderkid’ Bradley McGuire should be on top of the world. The reality? He’s faced with callous friends, a hostile changing room, vitriol-filled messages on social media and, crucially, Bradley's having to deal with himself. The film highlights the key issue - why should his sexuality be an issue?
