Gary Johnson wants more money from Chelsea FC following sexual abuse

Chelsea child abuse victim Gary Johnson said today he wants more cash from the club for his ordeal.

The 57-year-old said the £50,000 the Premier League giants have him is not enough compensation for his 'pain and suffering' at the hands of a paedophile coach.

Former player Johnson was paid off after claims he was sexually assaulted by chief scout Eddie Heath hundreds of times from the age of 13 for a three-year period in the 1970s.

Johnson, 57, claimed he was given 'hush money' of £50,000 by Chelsea in exchange for not going public with his allegations last year.
