A former footballer, who claims he was abused as a child | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
by a scout at Millwall and Charlton Althletic, | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
Paul Collins says the trauma of what he suffered | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
led him to hide the medals he won playing the game - | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
which he's only now able to look at once again. | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
He's been speaking to Laura Moss in south London. | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
Playing football was Paul Collins' dream, a dream he says was shattered | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
by the abuse he suffered at the abuse of talent | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
while he was a teenager at Charlto Athletic. | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
He would slap your leg, "You played well | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
today", but he moved his hand to the top of my | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
His hand went much deeper than it should have done, but I would just | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
normally go quiet, looked to my left and look | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
Nine out of ten times, I felt as if the player knew and were | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
He would just carry on as normal, as if nothing had happened. | :01:14. | :01:23. | |
Paul says the abuse went on for years. | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
We would go into a little room if I got cramp, | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
He would make sure he rubs you down quite high. | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
He would get aroused off rubbing you, and you could tell he would get | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
There was times I lay there and hoped someone | :01:38. | :01:46. | |
When he left football, Paul locked his medals in the garage. | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
Three decades later, he wants to look at them | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
I knew this moment would come eventually. | :01:54. | :02:06. | |
Since last month, when other former players came forward saying how they | :02:07. | :02:23. | |
were abused as children, the NSPCC has received | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
Paul has kept the memories about what happened to him locked up | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
here in a garage where he grew up more than 30 years ago. | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
He believes his story, like many others, may well be | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
These people, these paedophiles, will | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
always gravitate towards situations where | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
I wouldn't be surprised if we do see, as the story | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
evolves over the weeks and months to come, that there will be other | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
sports and areas of society that will similarly have these problems | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
In a statement to us, Charlton Athletic say there is | :03:00. | :03:10. | |
an internal investigation under way at the club | :03:11. | :03:18. | |
and they are taking the matter seriously working alongside the | :03:19. | :03:26. | |
If you would have stopped that in the beginning, someone like | :03:27. | :03:36. | |
me and hundreds of others would never have gone through, because he | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
Eddie would have been penalised for what he had | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
done, and imprisoned, and other people wouldn't have been hurt. | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
The FA investigation continues, said by some to be the | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
It won't come as any surprise to most of you, | :03:51. | :03:58. | |
that the company which runs Southern Railways, has recorded | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
the worst figures for punctuality of any train company since records | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
And the impact it's having on the everyday | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
lives of commuters - is profound - as Yvonne Hall | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
Like most parents, time with her children is precious to Laura Jane. | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
She has a demanding job as a careers consultant | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
in London, and relies on | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
Thameslink trains to get her home to St Albans in time to put | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
But the growing unreliability on Thameslink services means that is | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
If you know you're going to be late, I have to | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
call my parents to make them get across town during rush hour to take | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
over the nanny who has to get home to her children. | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
We are paying extra for childcare in terms of | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
What usually is already a really expensive journey | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
becomes a journey that is just not worth making, because you are | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
working at a loss at the end of the month. | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
It's now not a feeling of frustration or anger, it is just | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
Last week, Laura Jane organised a protest against | :04:57. | :05:07. | |
Like many, she pays nearly ?4000 a year. | :05:08. | :05:16. | |
Her campaign group's now calling for compensation. | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
Thameslink and Southern Rail are run by Govia Thameslink | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
The company always operates Great Northern and Gatwick Express. | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
Analysis released today by London's mayor | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
Sadiq Khan's office found that between the 13th of November and the | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
10th of December this year, only 62% of Govia trains were on time. | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
That is the worst performance by any rail | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
company in the country for more than a decade. | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
Southern services were the worst, with just | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
Nobody from Govia was available for comment today. | :05:47. | :06:00. | |
In a statment, they said the process has been blamed on strikes, London | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
Bridge development and signal failures. | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
Transport for London and the mayor have put together a strong | :06:11. | :06:20. | |
business case to take over those suburban Southern and railway lines | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
On top of worsening services, Govia's | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
commuters say average fare rises of nearly | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
2% in the new year, which | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
they say is adding insult to injury and should be scrapped. | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
Well, in response to the desperate problems on Southern and other | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
services, we're hosting a debate on the subject. | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
It's going to be recorded in the new year, | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
on Sunday, 8th January and we want to hear from you - | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
if you'd like to make your views heard. | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
Send us an email to BBC Rail [email protected]. | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
We'll need your full name, address, daytime phone number | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
and let us know briefly how you've been affected. | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
We'll then get in touch and hopefully, look forward | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
Other news now, and workers on London Underground | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
are planning to go on strike in the New Year. | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
Members of the RMT and TSSA unions will walkout for 24 hours | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
It's part of a long running dispute over job losses | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
Two teenagers have been charged in connection with the murder | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
27 year-old Ricky Hayden, was stabbed to death | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
outside his family's home in Chadwell Heath, | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
when he tried to stop thieves from stealing his moped. | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
The 19-year-olds will appear in court tomorrow. | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
In football - Crystal Palace have sacked their manager Alan Pardew, | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
has left them just one place and one point above | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
Ex-England and Sunderland boss, Sam Alardyce is rumoured to be | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
A pub in Buckinghamshire has found itself as a "favourite" | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
on the tourist map for Chinese visitors, after it was visited last | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
Apparently, that's enough to give it the seal of approval, | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
and make it a popular spot for loyal Chinese subjects. | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
And it's proved so popular, that a Chinese businessman has | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
bought it, so he can have it copied back home. | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
A traditional English pub that's making its name in China. | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
Last year, David Cameron took the Chinese | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
premier to the Plough for some pub grub. | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
Almost instantly, it became an international attraction. | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
We've been inundated with Chinese visitors. | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
They seem to land at Heathrow Airport, | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
picked up by a coach, stop | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
at The Plough at Cadsden for fish and chips and a pint of beer and | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
then off to buy the designer clothes! | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
Businessman Peter spotted the potential and bought the pub | :08:48. | :08:49. | |
His plans are to say the least, ambitious. | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
He wants to build 50 Plough at Cadsdens | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
across the Far East by this time next year. | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
This pub concept is getting more and more popular in China. | :09:07. | :09:21. | |
More and more Chinese students are coming to the | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
UK as well as more and more tourists to the UK. | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
Sharon and her partner Steve have been taken on as | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
Their exit after nearly 20 years in charge led to much local | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
speculation about the plough's future. | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
But the pub will stay largely as it is. | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
The rumour mill in the surrounding areas has been | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
fantastic, there was talk of maybe it turning into a Chinese restaurant | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
rather than being bought by Chinese investor. | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
Yeah, there was a lot of concern initially. | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
The Plough plays a big part in people's lives. | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
It's quite famous throughout the county | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
Now let's look at the weather. The second named storm of the season | :09:59. | :10:08. | |
is on its way. Here it is Barbara, working towards the UK. The | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
strongest winds from this will be well away from our region, affecting | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
the north-west of Scotland. For the time-being overnight we have | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
relatively clear skies. The breeze will pick up through the night, | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
should stop fog from forming. We've had problems that way over the last | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
few nights. It'll be relatively clear this night. Temperatures down | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
to four or five degrees in the centre of town. Cold enough for the | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
odd pocket of frost. Through Friday, hazy sunshine. High cloud in the | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
sky. Through the afternoon, thicker cloud spreading in from the west and | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
eventually as we head through the evening, we'll see outbreaks of | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
rain. The wind is picking up but a relatively mild day. Temperatures | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
around 11 or 12. Now looking ahead to Christmas Eve, it should be a | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
dray day, then for Christmas day itself, it's not white, but it's | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
warm. Temperatures could itself, it's not white, but it's | :11:01. | :11:01. | |
warm. Temperatures could reach 15. I suppose you could say today was | :11:02. | :11:12. | |
the calm before the storm. A winter chill, plenty of sunshine, but more | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
wintry showers in Scotland, more snow over the higher ground. Some of | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
this snow will melt for a time tomorrow because there is wind and | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
rain coming in from the Atlantic. So we'll leave the Highlands behind, | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
head out and look at | :11:27. | :11:27. |
