ily. “My mum, me and my older brother Maurice lived in fear.”

Ian returns to the single room the family lived in, and cries as he remembers his stepdad grabbing his mother by the neck and throttling her.

He also tells how his cruel stepdad, who left the family when Ian was a teen, would make him face the wall during Match of the Day because he knew he liked watching it.

In dramatised sequences the 10-year-old Ian is played by Asad-Shareef Muhammad.
