A youth football coach launched a scathing attack on the Football Association (FA) as he quit as the head of academy at Skelmersdale United FC following a dispute over homophobia in the game.
Daz Wildman, 47, was found guilty of improper conduct by a disciplinary process in September last year after his team refused to continue playing amid claims of abuse from a player and a manager of the opposing team.
After an appeal heard earlier this month, the sanctions imposed were dropped, but the charge of improper conduct remained, causing Daz to question the FA's commitment to tackling homophobia and bigotry in the sport.
