Watched the second of three programmes (I think that's the case), on the subject of s e x ual abuse by coaches at various levels of the game, left unfettered by footballing authorities over decades.

I know safeguarding measures are much improved of late, but looking back, how is it possible for men like Bennell etc to produce more cases of abuse than Saville, and for those in authority to have escaped the justice that he and other perpetrators are now facing?

All for the chance to play a game of football. Just what have we been responsible for, allowing it to happen because of our willingness to accept the account of what is necessary from those in positions of influence and power in professional football?
