Billy Seymour was abused by his former football coach Bob Higgins, and many years later when Higgins was tried and punished, he did not live long enough to see his victimizer get the sentence as he died in a car crash. All the years he suffered in silence and deep agony. He even took to drugs and never was able fully recover from the trauma, even many years after the ordeal he faced as a child.
