Looks like this could become another Savile affair with more and more footballers coming out each day as the story unfolds:

Saw an interview with Paul Stewart on 'This Morning'. He said that his addictions were as a result of trying to block out what was done to him.

Barry Bennell is pictured here with Stewart and Gazza:

I wonder if Gascoignes addiction to drinking is because he was abused too?
There was a programme on Radio 4 earlier this week that said that boys/men who have been abused by other men fear being tainted by homosexuality:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b082vys4 it's from about 0:25
Wasn't Gazza always keen to point out that (sic) he was "not a pufta"??
One footballer, Steve Walters, said on this mornings Victoria Derbyshire programme that he wondered if it meant that he was gay and this had stopped him forming close relationships with men, so this indicates that this could be true.
It's the first topic to be discussed if anyone wants to watch it:
