FORMER Fulham Ladies' captain Ronnie Gibbons claims she was groped and forcefully kissed by the football club's late owner Mohamed AI Fayed.
She is one of four former female players at the club who say the ex-Harrods boss attacked them.
Ronnie claimed it was common knowledge AI Fayed targeted young women but said she was still driven to Harrods by club staff.
Once at the luxury store, she said she was left alone with AI Fayed, who was then in his 70s.
Ronnie, then 20, was wearing her Fulham tracksuit when summoned to his office in 2000.
She said: "He pulled me in close and tried to kiss me on the mouth.
He had his arms holding my arms, so I couldn't push him away.
