Former football coach charged with sexual offences

A former football coach will appear in court this week charged with a number of sexual offences.

Paul McCann, aged 57, is set to appear before South Cheshire Magistrates Court on 3rd January 2018.

He is facing a number of charges including indecent assault on a boy under the age of 16 years and indecent assault on a boy aged 16 or over.

The charges relate to one victim and date back to 1987 – 1989.

On 5 January 2017, the FA suspended former youth coach Paul McCann, who worked for Crewe in a voluntary capacity in the 1980s and 90s and was assistant coach of the club’s youth team for a time – and later a volunteer youth coach at Merseyside non-league club AFC Bebington in 2014-15.
