Footballer arrested in Galway

[gspain]

Disturbing story on the front of the Galway Advertiser regarding a former top flight footballer who was charged with raping his daughter. Really shocking stuff.

I'm sure the mods will be at pains to point out that nobody should speculate as to his identity.

Note the paper did not claim that he was Irish or indeed an International rather that he played for a top flight club.

"The jury in the trial of a 68-year-old former top-flight professional footballer accused of raping and sexually abusing his daughter over a three year period have been discharged after failing to agree a verdict.

The man, who previously played soccer professionally with a top English team, had pleaded not guilty to 80 counts of rape, oral rape and sexual assault on dates between 2003 and 2006 in the family homes in county Galway and Roscommon."
