A former manager of Fulham’s women’s team says extra precautions were put in place to protect female players from the club’s late owner Mohamed Al Fayed.
Gaute Haugenes, who managed the team from 2001 to 2003, told the BBC that members of staff became aware that the late billionaire “liked young, blonde girls”.
He said that as a result players were not allowed to be left alone with Al Fayed, who owned the club for 16 years.
On Friday, the Cottagers issued a statement saying they were “deeply troubled and concerned” by the “disturbing” reports about Al Fayed during his time as owner of Harrods.
