CHILD SEX ABUSE, ONE OF THE BIGGEST CRISIS OF THE FA




The Football Association has said that child sex abuse is the biggest crisis in the history of the Football Association.

More than 20 ex-footballers have made allegations of child sex abuse, with five separate police investigations and an FA review launched in response.

Several former footballers have waived their right to anonymity in order to go public and raise awareness of alleged historical abuse in football, a step which has won praise from politicians, sport administrators and abuse charities.
Former Crewe player Andy Woodward was the first to speak out about the abuse he suffered as a child by convicted paedophile and former Crewe coach Barry Bennell.
Clarke said he would not be speaking to any of his predecessors so as not to "taint the evidence". He said QC Kate Gallafent would lead the inquiry.
"I don't want to be accused of turning this into an old boys' inquiry, where all the people in football are talking to each other to make sure it's a manageable outcome," he said.
