Thomas Hitzlsperger comes
out as ‘Brummie’
birmingham, england
Former Aston Villa midfielder Thomas
Hitzlsperger has ended years of speculation
amongst fans by revealing he is actually from
Birmingham.
Hitzlsperger revealed that he was Brummie in
an interview with Birmingham newspaper the
Express & Star.
Fans agreed that anyone who had heard the
German international speak during his time
in England would easily have mistaken him
for a midlander, but today’s announcement
finally puts an end to the ongoing debate.
The now retired footballer told the paper,
“I’ve waited until retirement to announce the
fact that I’m a Brummie due to the stigma
attached to other Brummies in the media.”
“People will perhaps call me brave, but it’s
just who I am and I hope the fans can accept
me as the player I was, and the Brummie I
continue to be.”

The former footballer went on to explain why
he concealed him Brumminess throughout
his career. He went on, “It’s difficult to get
ahead in this game if people think you’re a
Brummie, and being German sounded quite
exotic so I decided to go for that.”
“I honestly thought my German accent was
quite convincing, so it’s a bit embarrassing
after all these years to hear everyone say they
knew I was Brummie all along.”
“I hid the truth because I was frightened of
what the opposition fans would shout at me if
they knew I was from Shard End.”
“But I’m absolutely delighted with the
response I’ve had from the fans, 99% of which
has been positive – there’s always a few idiots,
but they’re in the small minority.”
“I look at the response now and think that
perhaps I should have come out as Brummie
earlier in my career. Maybe this will lead
others to do so?”
“If only it had been this easy when people
found out I was gay.”
