Six people have come forward to police after a former footballer spoke of the abuse he suffered at the hands of his coach.
Former Sheffield United player Andy Woodward told how he was abused by coach Barry Bennell while at Crewe Alexandra between the ages of 11 and 15.
Bennell was jailed for nine years in 1998 after pleading guilty to sexual offences.
