Football 'abuser' still working in game

An ex-Southampton FC employee who has been accused of abusing young boys at the club in the 1980s is still working in football, the BBC understands.

The man, who has not been named for legal reasons, is understood to have left Southampton after concerns were raised about his behaviour - but is now employed by another football club.

An ex-youth player has told the BBC he was abused by the man during the 1980s.

He is the fourth to allege he was subjected to abuse at Southampton.

The footballer was at Southampton for two years, between the ages of 14 and 16, in the 1980s, during which time he says a member of staff molested him.
