Footballer鈥檚 fight for career after wrongful conviction

Ex-Barnsley striker Shaun Tuton was dropped by Whitby Town after he was found guilty of outraging public decency, with details of the case reported in the national press.

His conviction was later overturned on appeal, but he says the damage had already been done, having lost his club and profession almost overnight. He's been talking to Simon Thake about clearing his name and fighting to rebuild his career.
