Being Put Through Hoops

A harrowing true story of the life that was forced onto a victim of violent physical and child sexual abuse in grassroots Scottish football. From being an innocent 13-year-old boy with a dream, to play football, to an aging pensioner, how his experience as a child remained a major, negative influence on his life for nearly 60 years before he took back the power from his abuser. A story of his roller-coaster existence and his eventual determination to achieve justice for himself and countless other silent survivors, and face the individual who cast a shadow over his life and for those who enabled his crimes in a Court of Law. That individual is thrice convicted Celtic Boys Club paedophile James Torbett. The alleged enablers are the world-famous Celtic Football Club. A story to encourage others, who have experienced a similar fate, to come forward and take back the power that was taken from them as children.
