Victims of paedophile football coach Barry Bennell have welcomed the 30-year sentence handed down to him by an English court.
The former Crewe Alexandra coach and Manchester City scout was convicted at Liverpool Crown Court of 50 child sexual offences committed between 1979 and 1991.
Bennell has already served three jail terms, totalling 15 years, for similar offences involving 16 other victims.
Speaking outside court, victim Andy Woodward, whose decision to go public led to the latest trial, said he had mixed emotions.
He said: "No sentence is long enough for that man and right to the death he didn't show any remorse or say sorry to anyone."
In a statement read outside court, fellow victim Gary Cliffe said: "The offences happened when we were children, now we are men.
"We did not forget, we came after you, Bennell.
"Now you are in prison due to us.
"If any more survivors wish to come forward and unlock the suffering, please do so.
"The hurt is not yours to carry, it is his."
Micky Fallon said: "As survivors of Barry Bennell's crimes and cruelty we welcome the sentence the judge has handed down today.
"It reflects the severity and the seriousness of the crimes he has committed, as well as the pain and distress he has put us through all our lives and also the distress he has put us through every day of this trial. Today marks an important milestone.
"We can now move on with our lives safe in the knowledge our abuser is locked away and can no longer cause us any harm.
"Today we looked evil in the face and we smiled because Barry Bennell, we have won. Today we hand our shame and our guilt and our sadness back to you.
"It should never have been ours to carry in the first place.
"And tomorrow we go forward, united in justice with a growing army of survivors."
Steve Walters said: "The sentence today sends a message to those who abuse children and those who covered it up - the world has changed.
"Truth now has a voice and it will be held accountable and punished accordingly."
He added: "Throughout this trial Bennell has shown not one ounce of remorse, not one shred of decency.
"He is calculated, devious and scheming. He was then and he is now.
"But he has finally been held to account for his horrific crimes against children."
