Gordon Woods : Being Put Through The Hoops
Last year a group of former players launched their legal bid to gain compensation and recognition for the abuse they had experienced whilst playing and training to be in the Celtic Boys Club. Although successfully covered up for many years through threats, sloth and intimidation, many of the victims now feel secure enough to reveal the extent of the abuse they suffered, admissions they are not afraid to make both in public and in court.
Gordon Woods updates Ed Oppeman about the progress of the case, recalling his story and naming the people responsible. In a harrowing account, Woods tells of the complicity of representatives of Celtic FC, and more particularly the Boys Club which scouted for talent.
22 former players have so far come forward bringing "group proceedings" against Celtic FC PLC.
