    Lots of people in the local area (Consett, Stanley, Blackhill, Shotley etc) knew about Naughty Neville yet nowt was done.

    Wey, I’m sure the ref turned a blind eye when Neville was badly tackled during the Sunday league matches. I’m guessing after the match he’d just abuse the lads worse so that probably didn’t help in the long run.

    Not more likely ignored because many abuse victims are still ignored?
