Barry Bennell has denied being linked to Manchester City during the 1980s
Eight men who sued Manchester City after complaining of being abused by paedophile Barry Bennell more than 30 years ago have lost a High Court fight.
The men, now in their 40s and 50s, said Bennell abused them when they were playing schoolboy football for teams he coached in north-west England between 1979 and 1985.
Mr Justice Johnson, who was overseeing the trial at the High Court in London, ruled against the men on Monday.
Manchester City had denied the claims.
