Nevin: No surprise if football child abuse is still going on
Former Chelsea and Scotland winger Pat Nevin says he "wouldn't be surprised" to discover that young footballers are still being sexually abused.
Nevin鈥檚 comments come following the decisions of former players Andy Woodward, Paul Stewart, Steve Walters and David White to waive their right to anonymity in order to speak publicly about the abuse they suffered as youth players.
Nevin says he is 鈥渟urprised鈥� but not 鈥渟hocked鈥� by their allegations because he believes youth football provides a 鈥渞ipe鈥� environment for paedophiles to operate.
