The solicitor representing four former Chelsea players who are accusing their coaches of racial abuse believes the claims are “the tip of an iceberg”. Speaking to 5 live Breakfast’s Rachel Burden, Renu Daly said, “We’re talking about abuse that went on for decades”. Gwyn Williams and Graham Rix are accused of racially abusing young players in the 1970s, 80s and 90s, with one saying they made his life “hell”. Nine former players have now come forward but Williams and Rix deny “all and any allegations of racial or other abuse”. In a statement, Chelsea FC said: ‘We take allegations of this nature extremely seriously and they will be fully investigated. We are absolutely determined to do the right thing, to assist the authorities and any investigations they may carry out, and to fully support those affected which would include counselling for any former player that may need it.’ This clip is originally from 5 live Breakfast on Wednesday 9th May 2018.
