A former Queens Park Rangers player has claimed that he was sexually assaulted as a 15-year-old by the club's ex-chief scout Chris Gieler.
The player, who has chosen not to reveal his identity, said that Gieler touched him on the genitals in the 1980s, and accused the former QPR employee of doing "much worse with some of the other boys".
Gieler worked with QPR for almost 30 years before leaving the club 2003, dying a year later.
"I had a sore groin - he came into the treatment room. I had an ice pack on my groin and he started touching that," the player anonymously told BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme.
"After a youth team game he'd come in and start talking to you in the shower. We were 14, 15, 16. You're not going to come out and tell people - people would've said, 'You should've just knocked him out.'"
The allegations are the latest in a growing list of child sex abuse claims that have rocked English football.
