Maddy Cusack’s eating habits changed after manager’s comment, girlfriend tells inquest

• Grace Riglar fights back tears giving evidence

• Cusack called Sheffield United omission a ‘personal attack’

The girlfriend of the late Sheffield United player Maddy Cusack has told an inquest that Cusack’s former manager Jonathan Morgan called her a “psycho” and that her eating habits changed after he allegedly made a comment referencing her weight.

Grace Riglar, who played for Sheffield United for one season alongside Cusack, fought back tears multiple times during an emotional and lengthy evidence session at Chesterfield coroner’s court on Tuesday. At one stage she had to take a break while being cross-examined by lawyers representing Sheffield United.
