Football sex abuse
Looks like this could become another Savile affair with more and more footballers coming out each day as the story unfolds:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-38107910 Saw an interview with Paul Stewart on 'This Morning'. He said that his addictions were as a result of trying to block out what was done to him. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38090926 Barry Bennell is pictured here with Stewart and Gazza: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/...xually-abused/ I wonder if Gascoignes addiction to drinking is because he was abused too? There was a programme on Radio 4 earlier this week that said that boys/men who have been abused by other men fear being tainted by homosexuality: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b082vys4 it's from about 0:25 Wasn't Gazza always keen to point out that (sic) he was "not a pufta"?? One footballer, Steve Walters, said on this mornings Victoria Derbyshire programme that he wondered if it meant that he was gay and this had stopped him forming close relationships with men, so this indicates that this could be true. It's the first topic to be discussed if anyone wants to watch it: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b083hbky |

There is every chance that this could be a true. BUT, don't forget what l hve said. It takes a very long time to tell other people, wife or husband or family about this.
Many years ago when it happened to me. There was a favourite spot in Hammersmith, where this was happening. But police did nothing about it. I think they guys who are coming out with this now. ONLY came about because of the Saville business. I applaud there actions. Its not easy. And No, l don't think its anything to do with there own sexuality. In fact with e. It has scarred me for life. Even when l go the public loos nw. I wont stand next to anyone, when l use the loos But, the sad thing is that what is happening now is just the tip of a very large iceberg. And it wont melt until the Law gets tough with what is happening. |

The Savile inquiry and now this may unfortunately show that this behaviour is much more prevalent than anyone imagined. I applaud their actions too, I think it's harder for a man to admit to what happened to them, particularly in the macho world of football. |
Re: Football sex abuse- was Gazza abused?
News now saying that over 20 footballers have now come forward to say that they were sexually abused.

This looks like it could be the tip of the iceberg Richard as several sources say there could be several hundred that were sexually abused over several decades.

I found it upsetting to see all those footballers in tears and to learn that the abuse even extended to penetration after watching the Victoria Derbyshire show: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8c3w48mLMKI |

Just been discussing this with friends.
Schoolboy soccer will attract paedophiles like a moth to a light. If anyone has a young lad who plays for one of these teams, it might be an idea to sit him down and ask if anything untoward has happened when training, playing football etc. |

Sounds to me like Barry Bennell has either attempted suicide or been assaulted:

Disgusting comments from Eric Bristow about the sexually abused footballers; there's also a rugby player who it's happened to too:

Re: Football sex abuse- was Gazza abused?
Yes l read those repulsive comments this morning and they certainly are despicable as he has no idea how it is for somebody who is being sexually abused or has been sexually abused before.
