If I hadn’t had the rugby field to get rid of my aggression I would have been locked up a long time ago. Gareth Thomas Read Quote
I had a lot of anger because I didn’t like who I was when I was off the field. I used to relish the chance to try and hurt somebody in a legal way, and in the game of rugby you were able to do that. Gareth Thomas Read Quote
I don’t try and coax people to come out because it needs to be right for them as an individual but when I speak to some people I realise that the power and influence that famous sportspeople have is amazing and to show such a positive message can change the world. Gareth Thomas Read Quote
I like to think I’m a bit of a son of the country, I’ve played for the country so many times I feel proud to be Welsh. It’s accepted me for what I am and what I do. Gareth Thomas Read Quote
If you could bottle that special feeling you sometimes get in a dressing room just before a match, you’d be a billionaire. Gareth Thomas Read Quote
My old man works in the postal service, my mum in a hospital and my brother in a factory. They’re my family and when I play rugby I’m representing them. But coming out was different. More than anyone, I feared for my father. I used to be a postman myself and so I know that working environment. Gareth Thomas Read Quote
