Yes, I’m really sorry to hear the stories about footballers being abused by coaching staff. Andy Woodward’s story, and the stories of other abused players is really troubling.
However, I wonder at a time when the media and the police seems to be focused on abuse in this narrow sphere of society, what could happen to “regular” people qho are not in the public eye who are suffering from this type of abuse?
In my view an abused child, no matter what sphere of life they are invovled in, deserves as much attention and justice as an abused footballer.
