“He shouted and screamed... so you told him to f****** shut up": Football coach raped player, 15, leaving him 'traumatised' with recurring nightmares and a drinking problem

A sick former football coach who fed a young player alcohol before taking him back to his flat and raping him has been jailed.
Michael Coleman inflicted horrifying sexual abuse on his victim throughout the 1970s in Bolton.
The boy was just 15-years-old at the time.

Coleman had been working as a manager at a sports centre in the borough when he started preying on the teenager.
The abuse began when the now 79-year-old touched his victim inappropriately in the showers.
He then took the boy back to his flat on several occasions.
He purchased the youngster alcohol and food before pressuring him to perform sex acts.
The teenager believed the assaults were "required” if you wanted to become a professional footballer.
The abuse ensued over a number of visits before the youth player was taken back to Coleman’s flat for one final time.
He raped the boy while the teenager screamed for him to stop.
Once home, the victim cried all night and was forced to hide his blood-stained underwear from his parents.
In a statement read out in Bolton Crown Court on Tuesday (February 15), he said the abuse has had a “traumatic effect” on his life.
It also led to him developing a drinking problem.
“This traumatic thing that happened to me has affected me emotionally and I find it hard to get close to anyone, including my sons,” he said.
“The crime has cost me my marriage.
“I kept having recurring nightmares for a while.
“These crimes have had a very traumatic effect on my life.”
The victim stayed quiet about the abuse for decades until he came across an article in 2018.
He read how Coleman had been convicted of abusing young boys
