Another former Crewe player, Steve Walters, followed suit to tell the Guardian a story of disturbing similarity. A spokesman for Northumbria Police told the Guardian: “We have received a report in relation to an allegation of historic [sic] sexual offences in Newcastle. His case has similarities in that respect with Bennell’s time as a youth-team coach at Crewe and White’s ordeal at Whitehill FC, a junior team affiliated to Manchester City. You used your position as a football coach to target vulnerable young children. • NAPAC, the National Association for People Abused in Childhood, can be contacted on 0808 801 0331.
