At Norwich City, Mr Sheldon said he found there were rumours that Carson left the club in 1993 because he had been “messing around” with kids.
But he added there was no evidence to support those rumours at the time and Norwich City said that it was not aware of any complaint about Carson.
Mr Sheldon wrote: “I have received written accounts from five individuals in connection with abuse at Norwich City. By their accounts, the abuse consisted of Carson forcing them to sleep naked; and naked examinations where they were called individually into Carson’s office, told to strip and perform different poses.
