The man was previously convicted of child sex abuse crimes against multiple victims.
He was convicted of crimes against teenage boys in incidents during his time of involvement with the football club and the management of the pool, which occurred in the 1970s and 1980s.
Slater and Gordon lawyers are asking anyone with information about alleged abuse by the person to contact them.

"We're calling on other victims, witnesses and anyone with knowledge of alleged abuse to come forward."
