Andy Woodward has revealed he is still waiting to provide police with information about the alleged sexual abuse he suffered as a junior player.
Last month the 43-year-old rocked football when he went public with claims about how he was sexually abused as a boy in the 1980s while with Crewe.
Woodward waived his right to lifelong anonymity to speak out -- and others followed.
However, he took to social media on Wednesday night to reveal his disappointment at a lack of action.
Woodward wrote on Twitter: "I've now been waiting 5 weeks to provide my statement with the police for further abuse on me. I've not mentioned it before now but it hurts.
"I've kept quiet about it but now people should know i suffered more than one abuser. I need to let go of that pain yet still waiting.''

Messages of support followed for Woodward, which he retweeted.
Chief Constable Simon Bailey said in a statement on the National Police Chiefs' Council website earlier on Wednesday: "Allegations received by police forces across the country are being swiftly acted upon.
"We continue to urge anyone who may have been a victim of child sexual abuse to report it by dialling 101, or contacting the dedicated NSPCC helpline, regardless of how long ago the abuse may have taken place.
"We will listen and treat all reports sensitively and seriously. Anyone with any information regarding child sexual abuse is also urged to come forward.''
However, Bailey acknowledged that the "higher than usual'' number of calls was causing delays.
The latest figures from the NPCC have showed significant increases in the numbers of clubs implicated, referrals, suspects and victims.
According to the information gathered by Operation Hydrant -- the UK-wide police investigation into non-recent child sexual abuse -- 148 clubs are now involved, with 155 potential suspects and 429 victims, aged between four and 20.
These figures are the result of 819 referrals to Operation Hydrant, with about three-quarters of those coming from the dedicated helpline set up by the Football Association and child protection charity NSPCC last month and the rest from police forces.
The numbers show approximate increases of more than 50 percent on the last update from the NPCC on Dec. 9, when there were 98 clubs implicated, 83 suspects and 639 referrals.
The NPCC data covers all tiers of football, from the Premier League to the grassroots, and 98 percent of those identified as victims are male, aged from four to 20.
The NPCC confirmed that other sports have also been mentioned.
The update comes a day after four former players who were abused by coaches as youngsters -- Ian Ackley, Derek Bell, Paul Stewart and David White -- met FA chairman Greg Clarke and the governing body's head of equality and safeguarding Sue Ravenlaw at Wembley.
On Twitter, former Manchester City favourite White wrote that he believed the FA was now "showing a true duty of care to victims and to the current and future safeguarding of kids."
Others, including Woodward, have questioned football's present ability to deal with the sheer number of cases that are coming forward, particularly in relation to providing counselling.
The FA, Premier League, Professional Footballers' Association (PFA), Scottish Premier League and Scottish PFA all fund the Sporting Chance Clinic so it can provide counselling for those in the game who need it. But the FA has privately acknowledged that the unprecedented surge in cases may mean that other counselling providers will have to be approached.
Keith Best, the chief executive of SurvivorsUK, the country's biggest male rape and sexual abuse charity, called on the FA and individual clubs to make counselling available to all who need it, as soon as possible.
In a press release, Best said: "Some [victims] will have been able to deal with this in their own way and may not need intensive help.
"[But] for others they are still affected years after the event -- their confidence in forming relationships, questions about their sexuality, post-traumatic stress disorder and problems at work and home can all manifest themselves without appropriate counselling and emotional support.
"The least that the clubs can now do is to make arrangements with specialist organisations to provide that counselling and support to those who will find if helpful.
"This is an investment not only in those to whom a duty of care was owed but also in society. The cost of a failure to react positively to the individuals and to society as a whole is enormous, disproportionately more than a course of therapy.''
