Andre Gray requests FA hearing over Twitter charges

Burnley were given an extension to respond to the homophobic tweets he made in 2012 until September 5.

"Burnley striker Andre Gray has requested a personal hearing to answer Football Association charges relating to historical posts made on social media," Burnley said on their website.

Gray has already apologised for the comments and said he is now "a completely different person" who did not "hold the beliefs written in those tweets."
