The court heard Bennell would not only groom his victims, who dreamed of becoming professional football players, but also their families.

He abused the boys at his homes, on trips away and in his car while on the way to and from training.

The court heard transcripts of police interviews in which Bennell admitted having a "grooming process" and being attracted to teenage boys.
