    Saints found out and reported it to the police. Despite police not pinning anything on him he was removed from the club. Not too sure what more Saints could have done?

    They have a duty of care and must ensure their employees are law abiding - as soon as we found out Bob Higgins wasn't we took action.

    Unfortunately I suspect that he won't die in prison :(

    Didn't know that one of the victims sadly passed away in a car accident in January this year.

    I don't know know the exact nature of the allegations so hard to comment really.

    I find it hard to believe that it wasn't brought up at least once to any senior management in a quarter of century though.

    Maybe but by no means guaranteed. 50-50 maybe.

    Hopefully, the BBC will give up their obsession with this case now (only eleven articles today).

    You do know criminals convicted of sexual offences are kept separated from everyone else.

    Otherwise know as Nonce. After watching a programme once about prisons Nonce actually stands for Not on normal courtyard exercise

    Not on normal courtyard exercise was chalked on a prisoners door. Nonce can also mean Not of normal criminal element in prison

    I'd forgotten I had posted it tbh, surprised there hadn't been a comment until yours.

    And yeah it really is tragic :(


    Big respect to Dave Merrington as well, took a stand it appears when all too many were happy to sweep it under the carpet. Who knows how much longer it would have gone on for had he not done that.

    Yes, ultimately his raising it made Higgins leave.
