Former England, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool star Paul Stewart has given his most harrowing account yet of the sickening abuse he suffered as a boy at the hands of a paedophile football coach. 'I'm thinking he must know what he's on about because he's the coach and I trusted him. If he's not outside school, he's sat on the sofa when I got back like a long lost uncle. 'From that day, I was sexually and physically abused every day of my life for four years. 'My disciplinary record was shocking but I didn't understand why, I didn't know it was because all this had happened to me as a child.
