Barry Bennell: Paedophile football coach 'wore Man City kit'

Nov 4,2021 7:12 pm

Paedophile former football coach Barry Bennell wore a Manchester City kit when coaching at a Butlins Holiday Camp , an abuse victim's father has told a judge.

The Man told a High Court hearing how Bennell was advertised in The Camp magazine for Pwllheli, Gwynedd, as a youth coach for The Club .

Bennell was Pwllheli Butlins' resident football coach in 1978, 1979 and possibly 1980, he told The Court .

Eight Men have made damages claims against Manchester City.

Mr Justice Johnson has heard The Men , now in their 40s and 50s, were sexually and emotionally abused by Bennell between 1979 and 1985 and are suing The Club after suffering psychiatric injuries.

Six are also claiming damages for loss of potential football earnings.

The Club disputes the claims made by The Men .

Bosses say Bennell had been a local scout in the mid-1970s but was not a scout between 1979 and 1985.

The Father of one of The Victims said his son, who turned 14 in 1980, had taken part in a coaching course at the Butlins camp in the late 1970s.

His son had revealed, a few years ago, that Bennell had abused him during his stay, The Man told The Judge .

The Trial continues.
