Blackpool has been named as one of the football clubs where it's been alleged that historic child sex abuse took place.



The head of the Professional Footballers' Association Gordon Taylor says the club is one of a number where players have claimed abuse happened.

So far more than 20 players have approached the PFA after allegations were made last week against a former youth coach at Crewe.

In a statement Blackpool Football Club said they hadn't yet been contacted by any authority in relation to any investigation but would assist in any way they could with an inquiry.
