Matthew Monaghan 'quit football after abuse by coach'

A Welshman has told how he walked away from a promising career in football because of abuse he suffered at the hands of a coach as a child.

Matthew Monaghan, from Pwllhelli, Gwynedd, played for Manchester United's and Wales' youth teams after the abuse at another club.

But Mr Monaghan said panic attacks forced him to give it all up.

It comes after several former players made allegations of historical child sexual abuse against football coaches.

He speaks to BBC Wales' Dylan Jones.
