I've already set this up to record. It won't be an easy watch, but it's a story that needs to be told.

Hope Bennell rots in jail.

Very brave of Andy Woodward to tell the story.

I was working and living in Crewe when all this was going on. The locals knew there was a lot of badness at Crewe Alex but assumed it was Dario Gradi - no one could genuinely put a finger on it, or were able to.

Similar at Celtic Junior clubs here in Scotland, but that is being cynically hidden - we all know it happened, but the authorities up here are doing nothing.
