Ex-chelsea Footballer paid £50k By Club To Keep Quiet On Abuse theweek.co.uk

Former Chelsea footballer Gary Johnson says he was paid £50,000 by his old club not to go public with claims he was sexually abused by their former talent scout Eddie Heath in the 1970s. Johnson says he remained silent about the abuse, which began when he was 13, until the Jimmy Savile scandal inspired him to speak out in 2013.
