The football abuse cases - can we now end the desperate search for gay footballers?

[Sir C]

Well perhaps that was the thing. Your radar was up and you were middle class, so were a hard target.

Or maybe you were just unattractive?

A combination of all those reasons, I'm sure, but I would still have seen the signs of other, more attractive chaps being groomed.

Mind you, by the time I went to play at a certain level I was 16/17 and those around me weren't really kids any more, they had pretty much developed into hairy-arsed, roughty-tufty athlete types, so probably not so attractive to your regular peedofiddler.

Well anyway, being an all or nothing type of chap, I'm now convinced that everyone involved with youth football must be a nonce. No exceptions.
