    These go back a while (90s), but it's still awful to hear this kind of story keep coming up. Some fellas have been named. The one I've seen mentioned the most is Mick Cooke for comments regarding lesbians on the team and
    Inside, she said Cooke asked her to sit on his bed and they began talking about the match. "And then the next thing," she said "it's like he's leaning over and grabbing you by the shoulders to kiss you and kisses you on the lips.
    (source)
    He's denied it all.
    Eamonn Collins is also named by several women, e.g.
    Another former trainee, named in the reporting as 'Adele’ said Mr Collins asked her to clean up training equipment in a changing room. When others had left, Collins returned to the changing room.
    "He walked towards me and he started to kiss me and before I knew it, I was pinned up against the shower wall and he was kissing me."
    "He took my hand and he put it down his trousers and he was wanting me to please him, and obviously I wasn't doing the correct job, or whatever."
    Adele says she "froze stiff" and Collins "ended up doing it himself."
    (source)
    He's also denied it all.

    I've more or less ignored this until now, because I felt like I knew what the articles would say before I read them. Unfortunately, this stuff is all too common. Still, I thought we should have a thread, if only to express a hope that justice be done.
