Efford: 'Football is not the place for Evans'
Labour’s shadow sports minister Clive Efford MP said it was “not appropriate” for convicted rapist Ched Evans to return to football following his release from prison in the early hours of yesterday morning.
Evans has spent the last two-and-a-half years serving a five-year sentence for raping a 19-year-old woman in a hotel.
Before his release, Sheffield United manager Nigel Clough confirmed that the board were looking into the possibility of re-signing the former Blades striker despite an online petition of nearly 150,000 people asking the club to refuse to allow him to play again.
