Exposing Footballs Paedophile Rings - Andy Woodward Tells All 

James you are the upmost legendary bloke for putting out this information to the public. Do NOT stop speaking

It’s astonishing the amount of men in particular who don’t understand the concept of freezing and think that a person must have consented if they didn’t fight. This guy is a legend for speaking about this and more education is needed in social services, police and jurys

What a powerful testimony from Andy? To have survived so much, be so young and tell his truth with conviction and purpose, is amazing. A TRUE warrior. 🎯

Years ago my boyfriend gave me a mobile phone. I knew it wasnt fresh out the box but it was still an upgrade to what i had at the time. I set up the phone and realised it wasnt completely clean and clear of previous owners information. After a few minutes of checking the messages it became abundantly clear it was a phone of a pedophile. There were sickening messages about young boys between a man and his girlfriend. Sickening. The premis of it was, is that she was scouting for young boys for a football team, conversations about 789 year olds. The messages were vile. She was at schools recruiting and seamed to have a team up and running. I believe the male pedophile was out the country and sending messages about little boys from where he was. Just vile things. I immediately asked my boyfriend where he got the phone from, he said it was his friends old phone at the time, then later said he believed it was his friends fathers old phone which was given to him and the friend sold it to my boyfriend. I told him what i found on the phone and that i will be giving it to the police with all the info i knew about where it came from etc. Soon after I learned that the son went to the police and his sister also went to the police because of this and the fact they were both molested by their father, the messages proving what he was doing is what prompted them. It became a huge thing. The pedophile father had a position in education services a governor if i remember correctly he was well known and heavily involved in schools and education and yes indeed ran football clubs for young boys. Im going back 18 19 years ago but things havent changed theyve just got worse sadly. Evil lurkes everywhere. wherever the young and vulnerable are be sure there are some sick individuals close by, always someone u know. If people think this is something new i dont know what to say. Gymnastics, football, swimming, horse riding wherever children are there are these animals waiting to pounce. Look after your Kids, trust no one and speak up if ever u get a whiff of anything that disnt look or sound right, dont stay quiet, dont doubt yourself dont feel bullied. Protect the children all children every child not just ur own.

James, this is a shocking but incredible podcast. No more porn stars, more amazing content like this please. I salute this man’s courage whistleblowing and saving kids’ lives 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

It's a sad fact that anyone who speaks out against child abuse is in danger of being personally discredited or worse. You're a brave man so keep up the good work.

Andy Woodward. The world of football is in your corner. Hero.

When I was about 8 years old (1978) and into Skateboarding we went to Crystal Palace park and there was a bloke in his late 40s selling Skateboard Wheels out of rhe back of his car and he was taking interest in getting kids to see the items he had for sale .. I told my dad when I got home and he said he didn't like the sound of the bloke and stopped me from going there again .. Well fast forward 20 years later and there was a report in the South London Express newspaper about a man called Raymond who was convicted of molesting young boys ..He had links to Crystal Palace Skate Club ..which had had many trips to Amsterdam with the young kids who were members of the skate club ... Jeez I had a lucky escape because the picture in hhe newspaper was that same man selling skate wheels

There are monsters in all sporting industries! Survivors of trafficking tell horrific stories of all sorts of abuse! The super bowl in the US is one of the biggest events for human trafficking every year!! The perpetrators of sexual abuse, deserve one thing, right between the eyes!!! Keep telling these stories James, survivors deserve to be heard! 🙏 🙏 🙏

Thank you Andy for your bravery and courage, keep fighting. Peace and grace ❤️🙏🏽

Respect to the courage of these victims, brave to speak up ..Bless You All 🙏💜

Andy is so brave. I dont think Andy is cursed, i think he could be the CURE.

Andy is amazing. You've got to get him back on James. Your platform is what is needed to get the truth out there. You're never afraid to get real stories out there and that's what makes your Podcast stand out.

Thank you james for shining a light onto a very seedy and depraved subject. As for Andy his story is absolutely heart breaking. He's been through a life you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy. What an incredible man to still be here and exposing these sick **nts. His testimony could bring back capital punishment. Anyone who inflicts and treats another human being like this doesn't deserve to live.

Excellent guest James and as always your questions came straight from your heart. You sir have an amazing gift - honesty and integrity throughout. Well done for not letting your daughter go to sleepovers, when she's a mum herself she will follow your lead & understand fully why.

This is by far one of the best podcast James has ever done. A huge improvement on some of the rather boring stuff from dubious adult film stars

James...get Gerry McCann on and ask him why his employment was terminated by Celtic.

God bless 🙏 you and your strength n breaking the cycle of abuse. Great interview as always james.

Imagine this day and age a football coach phoned you and asked for your 10 year old to stay at his house . He would instantly be outed .. mindblowing how parents used to ship their kids off with strangers back in the day

So very powerful ... hard to listen to and imagine monsters like these exist but sadly they do. Heartbreaking & makes me want to wrap my son up in cotton wool. Finding that healthy balance & awareness is vital . Once again excellent podcast James , love how you have courage to speak openly & allow others the platform to have a voice . 🙌🏼 never stop what ur doing, best out there 💙

Firstly my heart goes out to Andy. Amazingly brave to expose these groups. Took me a while to get through this as I grew up in the north west and played from the age of 6-21 for pro clubs in the area. Very lucky I never experienced anything untoward. My lad is at United’s academy now and I’m thankful for people like Andy to make it a much safer and less vulnerable for our kids. These teams who unknowingly would let these sick bastards in their club are rightfully making things harder for them to ‘slip through the cracks’ and hurt our children. Sorry for the long post. Appreciate all the hard work James. 👍🏼❤️

Unbelievably deep. Its brought me to tears. Opening up wounds from childhood. Nit on this scale. This is true bravery. Just keep a close eye on what the schools are teaching and who they are bringing in to talk to kids. OPEN YOUR EYES TO IT.

Another deep but very important podcast James. It's overwhelming what is going on and I thank the universe and the survivors' bravery.

Back in the late 50's and early 60's the police told me to stop telling lies or I would end up in a home for naughty boys,

Another empathetic interview James , you have a chemistry with your guests that’s rare .. These men speaking out is SO important .. I put a male friend of mine onto your channel as he was repeatedly raped as a boy & it’s helped him process all of his past behaviour in relationships, violence in pubs etc .. he’s in his 50’s & I was the first person he told . Please men ( & women ) speak up , get rid of the demons , you deserve to heal ❤

Gerry mccann has ties to celtic early 90s if i remeber rightly. Always found that of interest.... he was their physio

A whole show about this painful and horrific subject could be done on Celtic fc alone ! … There was an article in the paper this week about another guilty verdict to the growing tally of known beasts related to that club …. Sadly the victims will never get their justice , because no amount of compensation will ever ease the suffering … Suffering that has caused some victims to even take their own lives … There are Victims all across the world .. and their voices are well overdue to be heard ! …. Because the beasts have lived out their lives and the punishment that’s suited won’t ever be served now ….

This lad deserves a million and above subscribers, it’s the most open, most truthful and honest podcast there is out there, to his guests Thank you, thank you for sharing your life experiences, it’s been valuable lessons to learn, deepest respect to you James. ♥️

Such big respect for both men. One of the best podcasts out there 💯 well done James

Truly unbelievable what Andy has been through. By sharing your story, you will help so many to help them speak on. I hope you find some peace from all the trauma xx

Andy Woodward is a fantastic guy. His book position of trust was brilliant. Such a Great insight. Definitely a pioneer for victims to come forward.

James you are incredible. I am so very sorry this happened to you, it breaks my heart as a mother to hear this happened. I wish you so much love and joy in your life to hopefully overshadow that terrible wrong done to you. Thank you for exposing these monsters.

Well done James, best podcast about. Exposing the darkness. We need more like you in this world.

Its scary to think these kind of things went on, I know a lot of people are effected from here in Wrexham in the 80s from the kids homes where a lot of abuse went on

Wow what a BRAVE BRAVE man!! I hope he finds some peace and by speaking out will help a lot of people!

What a brave man my heart breaks for you Andy. Prayers for you and your family. Thanks James for fighting for those innocent souls🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Andy what a great guy ur may u find peace and happiness your truth should be heard

Great podcast James, hard to listen to at times but great respect for the two of you 👍

takes amazing courage to front these monsters , massive respect to Andy and those that have made the world a safer place for children , this deep delving must continue to out every single one of these evil abusers

Listening to Andy on a bbc show a year or so ago inspired me to open up to my friends about abuse/sexualisation i had happened to me as a kid.

I recall his coming out on mainstream news, he’s a very brave man who smashed the lid off the box. Another great podcast.

The issue stands with the Laws regarding child abuse 100%. Consequences are far and few between concerning the Law

Bit off topic but I had the pleasure of meeting Andy last week at a pub in Cheadle. I didn't know who he was before I did some research but I wish I did cos I'd have bought him at least 3 pints! Top bloke! He kept telling me I've got a gift and a lot of promise cos I'm 18 and have suspected autism haha and he's the first 50yr old I've heard say "im fuckin on it" lol. Legend Andy hopefully see u at the pub soon my g!! ❤❤

The light is winning 🙏🏼 keep the faith and keep talking ❤️

Kiddie fiddlers everywhere James

Great interview James. Brave guy speaking out. Hopefully nothing happens to him

Love you, James, you're so real. I can't believe the sheer evil, it seems to be getting worse, the things that have come to the surface the last few years, but the football organisations know about this. it's disgusting. I can't believe it to be honest, what an evil world,

Well done both of you for spreading the truth of how these evil scums do this

Corruption in football. politics and police is disgusting. I hope all these are brought to justice.

What a great man Andy is ❤

Zara has stuck with me in my thoughts always. And I think she's got you james she heroic james. Love how you keep keep speaking of her x

Aye keep up the good work....unreal what is goin on...totally sick

Very good honest conversation 🇮🇪

Its scary that these animals target all these institues football clubs, scouts , cadets the church far too many times its happemed

I've listened to this pod and I feel that guys pain, I've bn destroyed with my gf, and set up and it's still destroying me and my family till this day and I'm in my 40's these abusers should be locked up for life so they can't hurt anyone else

Its called Fawn.. With the abuser who portrayed a friend. This gent is a victor. He is still here still standing strong. Im so sorry you endured this horific abuse.

I can't find his film "Floodlights" anywhere, not available on Iplayer or anywhere else I've tried. Please let me know where it could be available

Heartbreaking.... But amazing podcast 🥰🥰🥰.

Sorry this happened to you Andy.😢

Best wishes to Andy from Stockport

I can put the link on here for the movie if anyone wishes and the BBC have stopped showing it , I wonder why 😮

He’s protecting masses of Other young men/ boys thankgod he’s voicing the truth he will make Changes that stick !! I❤ we all need to protect children together. The story about him being sectioned is terrifying. Brave man ❤️💯

well done Andy 👏🏻 also well done to you James ❤

Wish u all the best for the future Andy. U have been through so much. Be strong, positive and never let anyone get u down. Well done James for getting Andy on. I absolutely despise nonces and this country is too soft on them. They can destroy your life but they can still have theirs. Take care lads. 👍

Well done Andy 💚🇮🇪☘️love from Ireland… there is a huge can of worms being opened 💯

It is good that more abused men come out and talk about it, then society starts to accept and understand how women feel by being abused and don't ask anymore, why a women or girl did not react because of being frozen of fear! Sad men only start to understand situations when they experience it itself.

It's All love for anyone that speaks out against these filthy perverted individuals that have no regard for anyone's life that they destroy

Andy is a true legend. The people he speaks of are the most powerful in every country on earth. The danger he faces is very real.

What a brave man. X

He is absolutely telling the truth

Another great interview. Well done for exposing this. I did laugh when you said Ellen ‘Degenerate’. I’m sure a lot of folk do call her that.
