A third woman has come forward alleging she was also sexually abused by football legend Barry Cable as a child, this time when he was the coach of North Melbourne in the VFL in the 1980s.
The woman, who can not be identified, was called to give evidence in the civil case by another woman who alleges she was sexually abused by Mr Cable when she was a teenager in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and he was in the prime of his playing career.
