Exactly 40 years ago rumours broke concerning a sex scandal involving some young players at Everton FC and IIRC, one or two Liverpool players were also involved.

These players were using a flat in the Wavertree district at which they had sex with local school girls, all of whom were under-age. This scandal led to a major clear out at Goodison Park.

Freddie Starr was a fanatical Evertonian well known as a hanger-on around Everton players and was usually seen in the company of players when out in the city's pubs and clubs.

The names of the players involved were mentioned openly as was the name of a certain entertainer called Mr. Freddie Starr.

Two of the Everton players were 'rumoured' to be David Johnston and Alan Whittle, and as you can see from the links below, both were suddenly transferred away from Merseyside at the very same time:

Johnston to Ipswich Town in Nov 72, and Whittle to Crystal Palace in Dec 72.
