Chelsea Racism Scandal Worsens as More Former Players Come Forward With Accusations

Chelsea have been hit with more racism allegations involving former staff members Gwyn Williams and Graham Rix, with more former youth players coming forward with claims.

Grant Lunn and Gary Baker, both former academy players at Chelsea in the early 1980's, have spoken out in support of the previous accusers after reading Williams' denial in The Guardian earlier back in March.

Since then, revelations of "white-against-blacks" training matches have emerged. And Lunn, a former white keeper who spent four years at Chelsea before being released as an 18-year-old, recalls that racial abuse was the norm around the grounds back in his day.
