Palace captain Scott Dann has offered his support to those who have recently come forward to highlight abuse within football.

"On behalf of all the players at Crystal Palace, I would like to express our support for our fellow professionals who have come forward to highlight abuse within football," said the skipper.

 

"They have done a great service to our sport. I hope their bravery will help others.

 

"I urge anyone who knows of any instances of abuse, at any time - whether it was at Crystal Palace or any other club - to contact the Police or the FA’s NSPCC helpline.

 

"We want the victims of these terrible crimes to know they have the support of the entire football community."
