the player was andy woodward, who in 2016 inspired dozens and dozens of others to speak up as well. that was the year of the independent report on the football association. >> they acted far too slowly once they were aware of child protection being a problem. >> this man was among the predators. he coached young people from clubs like alexandria and manchester city in the 1980's. he is in prison now but was not banned from football after his first conviction. the football association and clubs from the lowest tier to the top have since worked to make amends. >> we have to hold our hands up and apologize for the mistakes of the past and make sure we correct them. >> some abuse victims say the report on the football association could have been stronger in tone. the faa will be watched at every step by those who suffer over the years. brent: it is cuba's best known export, you see it right there. handrolled cigars. strong demand from abroad helped save the industry from catastrophe. >> garcia is tending tobacco plants that will be made into famous cuban cigars. rc has struggled like ot

the issue came to the public�*s attention in 2016, when former footballer andy woodward waived his rightut about the sexual abuse he suffered while a child at crewe alexandra. more survivors came forward and this triggered an independent investigation led by clive sheldon 0c. today, after more than four years of work, a 710—page document was released. it found that "significant institutionalfailings" by the fa meant it was slow to act and left some children unsafe. here's the report's author. during the period of my review, i found _ during the period of my review, i found that — during the period of my review, i found that the fa did fail young kids between the period of 1995, kids between the period of1995, after_ kids between the period of 1995, after the — kids between the period of 1995, after the summer, and may 2000. there _ after the summer, and may 2000. there was— after the summer, and may 2000. there was an institutional failing by the _ there was an institutional failing by the fa — there was an institutional failing by the fa. they acted far too slowly in developing their ch

victoria, i would take us both back to november of 2016, the work that you did with andy woodward andballers and victims of abuse coming forward and i have no reason to think that what soma has done, courageously, is very, very similar to what andy did four and a half years ago with the resulting outcomes and i think we have to recognise that the number of testimonials on the website has not far short of doubled in the space of a week. and i think we would all recognise that as more and more victims have the confidence and courage to come forward, that we have a real problem here and as a result of what soma has done, more of this is coming to light, more will come to light and the police service has a responsibility to then go and investigate those allegations which are of criminal nature. why do you think, chief constable bailey, why do you think there is this culture in some schools and further education colleges and universities? i think there has been an erosion of an understanding of what normal relationships look like and what normal sexual relationships look like. so much of t

here are andy woodward, steve walters, jason dunford and chris unsworth, talking to me in an exclusive would be on the way to training? 0n the way to training and on the way back. right. and then he invited you to stay over at his house. yeah, that happened a little bit later but not long after. at first, there was, you know, two, three, four lads that used to stay there and there was always two or three in the bed. right. and for decades, keeping this kind of cataclysmic secret. i know, i chatted with my friend the other night about this and you just get on with your life and you forget everything that has happened. as i say, luckily, i had my golf to go to and that guided me through, i think. but both my... both my parents have died and that hurts me. yeah. not telling them. does it? yeah. i don�*t know if it�*s a good thing that i did or didn�*t tell them, because they would have blamed themselves, so... let�*s talk to gary cliffe, who helped convict ex—football coach barry bennell by giving evidence against him. bennell absued him at his home and on the pitch at city�*s old ground

in 2016, it was the harrowing story of survivor andy woodward which forced the game to examine its darkestact it has had on my life is just catastrophic. you live with that all your life and i can't put it into words what that has done to me. for years on, clive sheldon qc�*s report makes uncomfortable reading for football's governing body in england and wales. we do a lot of talking to them as well as showing skills and explaining the game to them. barry bennell is a former coach at crewe alexandra, stoke city and manchester city, he was the star maker for aspiring footballers, and he was also a prolific paedophile. the report says the fa failed to ban him and other predators from involvement in football. gary cliff was repeatedly abused. i feel sort of vindicated, but i don't think it has gone far enough. throughout the whole report i have read, there is a theme of people knew or suspected but none of the officials had the gumption to raise it with anyone, police, social services at all. that is the theme running through it. it is disappointing in that respect. the sheer scale of the rep

you decided to waive yourl anonymity in 2016 after seeing an interview with andy woodward, speaking publicly then, i wasn't in a well placed in 2002, i was still receiving quite intense therapy. i didn't cope with the case very well in 2002. i wanted my name to be, although close family and friends knew it was me in court, and then, 14 knew it was me in court, and then, 1k years later, watching the 1a years later, watching the television and one night, and then andy appears. and i thought in 2016, i thought i'm in a better place now than i was in 2002, to waive my anonymity so i obviously contacted newcastle united, northumbria police, i remember coming on your show way back in 2016, victoria. and i wanted to support other former professional footballers, i thought i was in a well place at that time and it was the right time for me to waive my anonymity, to help other people come forward and hopefully, and as accounts move forward, he was rearrested and went to court in 2018 for a0 other victories came forward. and he got 20 years in prison, a further 20 years. —— a0 other victims. further 2
