Fulham ladies

Mohamed Al Fayed: Former Fulham Ladies captain Ronnie Gibbons has alleged that she was "groped" on two occasions by the football club's late owner Mohamed Al Fayed. Following her heartbreaking revelation, Fulham FC head coach Marco Silva is 'saddened' by the situation.

"If you ask me, I feel first as a human being, and of course as a manager. Sad news, it is really sad for me, I think for all of us to listen to her. As Fulham manager, definitely as a football club, all our empathy is with the situation. We are against all these types of things, all these types of abuse, clearly.

“All of us feel it, it is really sad to listen to it, and we all feel something. As a human being, you have to be completely against the situation. We’re talking about something that happened probably 25 years ago, it’s not something that happened last year or two years ago, but it’s sad anyway," said Silva to The Athletic.
