Niall Quinn ‘horrified’ by abuse of former team-mates

Niall Quinn said he is “shocked and horrified” by the growing revelations of child sex abuse in football and hopes the bravery of ex-players — including two of his former team-mates — in going public about their harrowing experiences won’t be in vain.

Among the victims who came forward are two former England players with whom Quinn played during his club career in the 1990s.

“Paul Stewart at Sunderland and David White at Man City, two great guys, I played with for long periods,” said Quinn. “I feel for them and what they must have gone through over the years.”
