Stoke City abuse claims

[Santa]

Former apprentices claiming to be abused by senior players, 'bizarre initiation ceremonies', not a nice story at all.

The claim relates to the 1980's and five years ago were investigated with insufficient evidence to proceed, don't see what could have changed in the meantime.

 

Be interesting to see if there is anything real in it or total fabrication.

Maybe more people coming forward in light of the Saville case?

[fairportnick]

it is likely that the company owning the club has since changed, so action, if any, may need to be taken individuals.

Possible indeed, glad I didn't mix with 'celebrities' in the 80's growing up. It really can be a sad old world sometimes.

I wondered when I saw the headline if there is any association with that paedophile who was jailed, who worked at Crewe and I think at Stoke as well, but it appears not.

Barry Bennell? I think he did work at Stoke in the 80s but I've not seen anything to suggest he was involved with this.

It sounds like ex players rather than coaches.

Stoke City, Ralgex & rubber gloves. That's all you need to know, it's an institute festering with debauchery and the systematic abuse of young boys. And to think their fans have cast aspersions about the way young players at Crewe were treated by Dario......

 

Nothing like that has ever happened at the Vale though, our questionable characters are of the full blooded type like Clayton McDonald.

Its true Peter Fox WAS interviewed.....And was very worried of the outcome at the time....

[Santa]

He was my mate from school's next door neighbour when he lived on Adams Grove in Leek.

 

As Dave said, always seemed a nice chap.

Good guy was Fox, he used to come to our school regularly for awards and was a friend of my dad's best mate. Glad to hear it seems there is nothing in it involving him it appears.
