Steve Walters and other brave men

I don't have the right words... congratulations? Well done? Strong? Brave? Determined?
I don't know, none of them appear to be appropriate.

But I hope tonight, Steve Walters and other survivors of Bennell predatory sexual abuse can now gain some closure.

As a Father with a young son just starting to play youth football, watching and hearing from this trial makes my blood run cold. One victim waited till 5 days after his Mothers funeral to report this monster to the police because he didn't want to put her through it. These were grown men having their voices heard but it was young boys it happened to. Brave men who deserve our respect.

On the flip side, people who give up their time to coach youngsters at whatever level should still be held in high regard. Youth football is so important and without these people, it would just vanish.

The C4 programme 'footballs wall of silence' on at the moment is really quite shocking.
Enjoy yourself.... It is later than you think
