Its just strange that they didn't come out once they became adults, or retired playing football or whatever. Of course its hard to put yourself in that position, but I'm just wondering why it took them decades
 
 

It's hardly that difficult to understand is it? I'd imagine as a man, it would be very hard to admit that you weren't able to stand up to the abuser. Also, not to mention the impact it would have on your wife, children, parents, brothers/sisters, friends, etc.

Would agree with Huntacha. Everyone handles it differently. Sure people are terrified to come out as gay in football for the backlash they'd receive, can only imagine how they'd feel coming out as a victim of abuse. In come convoluted way they probably think it makes them less of a man.

I understand that. You would have thought that it wouldn’t have taken until now for him to be put away for a good stretch

In Stewart's book, he actually breaks the news to his mother and brother on different occasions while he was drunk, but they never asked him about it sober. How could you not ask him about it?

31 years and hopefully gets beaten regularly in prison. Daniel Taylor's pieces in The Guardian have been powerful.

Plenty more Bennell's that get away with this stuff in our societyThumbs Down. Too many turn a blind eye or are protected by the power systems. The old owners and some staff of Man City and Crewe should be hung out tooAngry

anyone have an rumours as to why Gradi is suspended by the FA. With the amount of victims of Bennell coming forward none have said Gradi was involved so I think that should be discounted...

Still he must've have known that Bennel was dodgy Angry

There have been allegations from former schoolboys who visited Gradi's home that he showed them pornography. A former employee of the club has also claimed that he was asked to wipe computers clean too. I assume it I connected to that.

Yea that's in the BBC link I posted yesterday.
 
According to a statement given to the NSPCC in 2011, the man - who does not want to be identified - was told that Gradi had been hosting a group of young Irish Under-13 players at his house and they had been viewing the material on his computer.

While also avoiding any questions on the matter. They should be kicked out of the league.

Crewe doing some serious burying heads in sand there. Even without proof, I don't think its unfair to say that those at the top levels of the club knew exactly what was going on.
