Is it wrong that when I saw this thread bumped, I was hoping he'd killed himself, or at the very least maimed by other inmates?

Nope I hoped for similar things.
It's never nice to wish bad things to happen to others, but this guy deserves some kind of 'special justice'
(and any others who prey on others too)

What the actual fuck was going on in this country in the 70s? Celebrities, Football Scouts and Coaches, MPs, etc.? They were warning ya about flying kites near pylons but instead it should have been ‘Charley says watch out for all the fucking paedos’.

70s were some darkkkk times it seems. I was watching a program about one of the Birmingham six. Amazing the shit the establishment and other figures got away with.

Doesn't look good at all that Dario Gradi was at both clubs at the time of the abuse. Could just be a coincidence, then again...

I suppose the other, quite worrying argument, is that maybe this sort of thing was so commonplace in youth football at the time, that virtually every club had one of these monsters

Gradi does come across as having been a silent enabler, which massively tarnishes his legacy.

But I sadly think you're second paragraph is almost certainly correct too.
