Is there another one on tonight?


Yeah think it on at 11.15...crewe fc have a lot to answear for....seems everyone knew what he was up to but just let it slide.other teams would be sl*gging bennells teams because they knew what was happening so managers,parents etc would have known from opposition sides????

And then bennell marries Woodward’s sister....holy jasus.




I also read that Bennell's cousin murdered Woodward's aunt. Wacko

Bob Higgins was almost like a cult leader. The Southampton lads were absolutely brainwashed by him.

Never caught last nights episode, but the first one was tough viewing. Them bastards knew they could make or break a kid's dream of becoming pro, thats why they felt untouchable.

Seen a case recently of a GAA official from Crossmaglen up for alleged abuse of 23 young males. It would be naïve to think this was an isolated incident with regards sport on these shores.

She must of heard things but chose not to believe them.

Woodward writing a letter to say bennell was a good person after he abused him when bennell was caught in Florida was unreal....the hold the abuser had on the victim’s is mind blowing.

How did bennell get back into the game when he was caught in Florida.....???

And how did Higgins not get convicted when it went to court the second time....what more evidence did the jury need???

Yeah there's examples in every sport...

Terenure in Rugby
George Gibney in Swimming
Penn State in American Football

All as you say, the same root cause

A very good documentary, I have episode 2 recorded. You can see the pain etched into Paul Stewart's face.
I remember as a kid that Crewe were always talked about as a model club for developing young players, and Dario Gradi's name was mentioned as if he was some kind of god.

The FA have suspended him from football indefinitely.

And the "Where's George Gibney" podcast which detailed the sick past of the Irish Olympic swimming coach

It seemed to be rife back then in many many walks of life
