dario gradi, crewe's former manager and the man who brought bennell to the club has said previously hend has maintained a silence on the issue this week. but one former director said he warned senior officials about bennell‘s relationship with young boys in the late 1980s, but the coach was allowed to stay in hisjob. there was so much banter around the dressing rooms and around the football club about it. you know, odd remarks getting made here and there. if you did not know about it, god knows where you were. you weren't at crewe. barry bennell will be sentenced on monday and is facing the prospect of facing the rest of his life in prison. the football association's probe into who knew what and when in the organisation goes on as well. the scrutiny will continue. there's an all british world title fight in manchester tomorrow night as wba super—middleweight champion george groves takes on chris eubankjunior. 0ur boxing correspondent mike costello is with me. good evening. you are in town for this fight, a lot of people who were after those tickets sold out in minutes, a massive appeti

we are showing a picture of you with dario gradi and barry bennell., we are talking 30 odd years ago, people would call us, here come the paedophile boys... crewe alexandra had a reputation back then for that kind of thing, we would get called that at the age of 12, 13, 14, 15, that at the age of12,13,14,15, it was not uncommon. why did you wa nt to it was not uncommon. why did you want to speak out? i sprained the connection, for me speaking out now, this is not so much about me, i am 46 years old, it happened to me a long time ago, this now is all about the future. and making sure that this cannot happen again, notjust in football but sport in general, this type of thing cannot happen, children need to be able to play sport and be safe from doing so, and the work with the offside trust, thatis the work with the offside trust, that is one of the reasons why i have waved my right to anonymity, i wa nt to have waved my right to anonymity, i want to speak out and show the devastating effect that child abuse can have a and we need to work with the author

the then manager, dario gradi, was one of those who smith says was aware of general concerns about bennellving had any knowledge of bennell‘s crimes, but he was suspended by the fa in 2016. crewe also say they were unaware of bennell‘s behaviour before his first of three previous convictions in 1994, when he was jailed in florida for abusing young players during a tour. it may seem hard to believe now but, in the 19905 when barry bennell was first convicted, the story seems to have made little impression, either on football or wider society, but in late 2016 another former victim at crewe started arguably the biggest crisis the british game has ever seen. first, former crewe player andy woodward spoke out about the abuse he suffered at the hands of bennell, insisting he wasn't alone. it's huge. the ripple effect through football, i hope people are listening. former international paul stewart revealed the extent of the abuse he'd been subject to by a different paedophile. horrific. how long did it go on for? four years, almost every day. the fa chairman launched a review into the crisis. we

it‘s not known if the parents‘ concerns were raised with the club or then—manager dario gradi, who isrio gradi on headed notepaper. it said:. there‘s no evidence that letter was suggesting abuse by bennell but it is very clear that by that stage, officials at the club did not want their young players associating with the coach. even if they didn‘t know, crewe as they club have an obligation even if they didn‘t know, crewe as a club have an obligation to come out and apologise and say, "we were in charge at the time and this happened". they had a responsibility to protect us at the time and i don‘t think we were protected enough. all of this comes after crewe alexandra‘s former managing director, hamilton smith, told us he raised concerns at a board meeting in the late ‘80s but no real action was taken. everybody involved could have done and should have done a lot more. the club declined to comment on the letter or the player‘s account. other officials there have always denied they knew about the abuse until after bennell left the club. just to ask again, were you aware at any point of

the club had just appointed a young manager, dario gradi, who knew bennell from his time at chelsea.need to — well, we give them homework. he was so good at bringing players through, that when they were sold on, gradi asked for bennell to receive a share of the money, according to the club's then managing director. again, though, there were rumours about barry bennell‘s dark side. the mother of a young crewe player said she sent an anonymous letter to complain about boys sharing hotel beds with bennell. someone must have known it was going on, it can'tjust have been me that told somebody there was something going on. but there was no allegation of abuse, and we don't know if that letter was ever received by crewe. the strongest warning, though, is said to have come from within the club itself. former managing director hamilton smith said he told the club's then chairman, and the board, about bennell‘s contacts with young boys. everybody involved could have done and should have done a lot more. dario gradi has always denied any wrongdoing, and says the first he or anyone else at crewe
