I may be wrong here, but apart from expenses, the Guardian doesn't pay for these kind of interviews. Why should they ?
Even if they did, I am not aware of anybody saying that the veracity of the evidence given by these ex-footballers is in any doubt.
Although it was the Guardian that "broke" this story to the public, investigations into Bennell by the Police, were ongoing in September, long before the first interview.
I watched the interview with David Eatock this morning, and the flood gates appears to have been well and truly opened. Lets hope the good example set by these troubled men ensures that this issue cannot be swept under the carpet again, as it has been in the past.
How many more abusers of boys are there out there ?
More importantly, how many of them are still active ?

there was an interview with Freddie Flintoff in the Standard tonight. I have no idea if it was paid for in money but they did run a paragraph at the end stating that he was a representative of some clothing company and had his own line of clothing. So in effect the paper ran a free ad for him by way of payment and wouldn't have got the interview otherwise.
jno...I can remember when the Standard wasn't free !
When I worked up in Town, the late 80's, I used to buy one on my way back to the Hotel, and then do the crossword in a pub somewhere. ( The Princess Louise was my favourite....great beer ! )
I wonder what happened to all those newspaper sellers, outside every main Tube station ?

the News "merged with the Standard" (ie closed but some staff made the switch) long ago. The free Standards still need people - some just go in bins in stations but out on the street they're usually handed out by humans. I iamgine they're not paid much, though.
It had to go free because people were fed up with its moaning about how awful London was while seldom venturing beyond Chelsea. It now moans a lot less and isn't bad.
