I just feel so upset and angry on their behalf, I watched all three parts and barely kept my eyes dry throughout. It's just ruined everything for them. Their lives, their dreams, their profession, their relationships. No kid deserves that.
From a footballing perspective to think that he got to play for his boyhood club, won the FA cup after his first big money move, played for his country and got a 2nd big money move to Liverpool, all whilst basically being a broken man, you have to wonder what he could have been had he never met his abuser. To never have enjoyed any of that, despite it being his dream as a boy, because he was just empty inside is horrible enough. But for it to have eaten into his whole life to the point where he's shunning affection and being unable to show affection to his family and kids, despite wanting to, is just so heartbreaking.
I think what he and the others have spoken out about is so brave, and so important. This stuff still goes on, and the more people who can recognise the signs then the more chance we have of preventing so much damage being done to young people's lives, and maybe even saving a few as well.
