Professional Footballers' Association chief executive Gordon Taylor has apologised for appearing to compare the Hillsborough tragedy with the Ched Evans rape case.

Taylor told Radio 4's Today programme: "I wasn't comparing the cases, I was looking at a comparison of the principle, of people having the right to maintain their innocence".

"Obviously I don't want to upset anybody from the Hillsborough families support groups."

Asked if Ched Evans will never play football in Britain again. Taylor suggested "it's doubtful".
