A handful of Arsenal stars have linked up with Paddy Power, Stonewall and the Gay Football Supporters' Network to launch the 'Rainbow Laces' campaign to tackle homophobia in sport.

Rainbow-coloured laces have been sent to every professional footballer in the UK, including youth and women's teams, and all players are encouraged to lace-up on the weekend of September 13th/14th to show their support for tackling homophobia.

Paddy Power–who have helped to launch the campaign–recruited a group of Arsenal players to tell us things about themselves that they can't change (such as sexual preference).


Theo Walcott says he can't help but look like Lewis Hamilton, Olivier Giroud says he can't help being gorgeous, while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain says he can't help looking like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
