FORMER Newcastle footballer Derek Bell has told how he turned up at his abuser's house with a 12 inch knife and wanted to stab him to death.

Bell was abused hundreds of times by his coach George Ormond when he played for Montagu and North Fenham boys football club in the 1970s.

Twenty years later Bell saw Ormond again and said the encounter "just blew his head" and he wanted to kill him.

He later met up with his abuser and secretly recorded him to help police bring him to justice.

Bell is the latest ex professional footballer to waive his anonymity and speak out publicly about the abuse he suffered as a youngster.
