The Football Association’s former
chief lawyer approved the gagging clause that prevented a Chelsea
footballer from going public with allegations he was sexually abused by
the club’s chief scout, The Daily Telegraph has been told.
James Bonington, Chelsea’s head of legal, who previously worked at the FA, ensured the strict confidentiality agreement was in place before the payment was made to Gary Johnson, who received £50,000 in July last year on condition he kept quiet about the abuse.
