The FA and two professional football clubs were accused last night over the failure to stop a predatory football coach who can now be exposed as one of Britain’s worst paedophiles.
They were accused of ignoring a string of warnings over the behaviour of Barry Bennell, 64, following his conviction on a total of 43 sex abuse charges, relating to attacks on 11 boys.
It can now be revealed that police are investigating up to 86 more victims targeted by the monster, who has already served jail time for abusing another 16 victims.
It means Bennell, who was said to have an ‘insatiable appetite’ for young boys, could potentially have abused more than 100 victims.
