Footy legend told alleged sex victim she was 'lucky'

Legendary Australian Rules footballer Barry Cable allegedly told a girl he is accused of sexually abusing for years that she would eventually thank him for the assaults.

The now 79-year-old, who denies the claims and is not facing criminal charges, also allegedly said his victim would beg for more and he was "training" her to be a hit with men.

Cable's accuser says she has a vivid recollection of the mental and physical abuse from more than 50 years ago when Cable was at the height of his playing career.
