Former England and Southampton footballer Matt Le Tissier has said he was given a "naked massage" by a coach at the centre of sex abuse allegations.

Bob Higgins, a former youth officer at the club, is accused of historical sexual abuse against young players.

Mr Le Tissier said he was not abused by Mr Higgins but the incident was "very, very wrong".

He added the allegations of sexual abuse in football "have not come as a big surprise".

Mr Higgins has denied all allegations and was acquitted of sexual abuse charges in 1992.

The BBC has tried to contact Bob Higgins about the allegations of abuse which have emerged in recent days - he has not responded.
