Ex-football coach Barry Bennell has been jailed for 31 years at Liverpool Crown Court for 50 counts of child sexual abuse.
Bennell, described as the "devil incarnate" by the judge, was convicted of abusing 12 boys aged eight to 15 between 1979 and 1991.
Judge Clement Goldstone QC said Bennell, 64, was "sheer evil".
He will serve half of a 30-year sentence in custody, with the rest on licence.
He was also sentenced to an additional year on licence.
'He took my innocence and my career'He took my innocence and my career'
Bennell shook his head as the judge sentenced him and there was clapping from the public gallery as he left court.
"To those boys you appeared as a god... in reality you were the devil incarnate," Judge Goldstone said.
"You stole their childhoods and their innocence."
