The court heard he told young players: 'You want to play football, you want to play for me, this is what happens. Jurors were also told he would pull young boys' trousers down saying that 'footballers don't wear underpants'. The court heard Ormond helped to run a successful boys' team in the Newcastle area and progressed to Newcastle United's youth set-up in the 1990s. Prosecutor Sharon Beattie told the court Ormond entered the Premiership club as a 'volunteer kit man and general helper.' However one boy told how he would use it as a way of rubbing high up his thighs to touch him intimately.
