The BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire programme speaks to former footballers Chris Unsworth, Jason Dunford, Steve Walters and Andy Woodward, who all claim to have been sexually abused by former coach Barry Bennell. Bennell, 62, was jailed in 1998 for sex offences against children and was imprisoned again last year. Crewe Alexandra and Manchester City – where Bennell worked as a coach – have begun internal investigations. Dario Gradi, who was Crewe Alexandra’s manager for more than 24 years and is now their director of football and academy director, offered “sympathy to the victims of Barry Bennell”.

Football: Former players speak out, claiming they were sexually abused as trainees

Football clubs have become the latest UK institution to be rocked by allegations of widespread child sex abuse. Former professional footballer Andy Woodward broke the silence. He spoke out about how his coach sexually abused him for years – turning his childhood dream of playing football into a nightmare. At the centre of the scandal is Woodward’s former youth coach and convicted paedophile Barry Bennell. Woodward’s revelation has now prompted hundreds of other players to come foward.

Floodlights tells the impactful and important story of Andy Woodward, the former professional footballer whose brave revelations about the sexual abuse he suffered as a youth player sent shockwaves throughout the industry and across the globe. In November 2016, Andy found the strength to go public about horrific sexual abuse by his youth coach, Barry Bennell. After doing so, hundreds more men, many also victims of Bennell, found the courage to speak up about their harrowing experiences of abuse, lifting the lid on a national scandal in the country’s most popular sport. The feature-length factual drama depicts Andy’s life, from a boy with a passion for the game to a successful professional footballer who seemingly has the world at his feet, until, no longer able to ignore the haunting memories of the abuse he was subject to by his youth coach, his career is cut short. It examines the power and control held by Bennell, grooming young players and their families with the promise of making their dreams come true. Andy Woodward says: “Since speaking out in 2016 I’ve wanted to continue to encourage people to talk without fear, to make a change. Floodlights tells my story, which no child should ever have to go through. I hope this film helps to stop abuse in football and in all areas of life.”
