Eleven people have come forward to police in the wake of revelations about sexual abuse in football.
Former footballers Paul Stewart and Andy Woodward have both revealed they were abused by football coaches as children.
Former Liverpool and Tottenham player Stewart waived his anonymity in an interview with the Daily Mirror, after ex-Sheffield United player Woodward revealed that he was abused by coach Barry Bennell at Crewe Alexandra.
Detective Inspector Sarah Hall, of Cheshire Police public protection unit, said: "As of today, Wednesday 23 November, we have now been made aware of a number of people who have come forward wishing to speak to the police.
"At this stage we are in the process of making contact with them, and to date no arrests have been made and no-one else is under investigation.
"Cheshire Constabulary takes all reports of sexual offences extremely seriously and has specialist trained officers to provide advice and support. We urge anyone who has been a victim, no matter how long ago the incident took place, to contact police on 101."
Stewart, 52, alleges he was repeatedly sexually assaulted by a man who threatened to kill his family if he spoke out.
He claimed other boys were also abused by the same man.
Stewart told the newspaper: "The mental scars led me into other problems with drink and drugs. I know now it was a grooming process. The level of abuse got worse and worse."
He added that if he was not playing well then the trainer would threaten him with violence as well as sexual abuse.
The claims by the former FA Cup winner with Spurs follow Woodward's interview with The Guardian in which he said he suffered at the hands of Bennell between the ages of 11 and 15.
Bennell was jailed for nine years in 1998 after pleading guilty to sexual offences.
In his interview, Woodward said: "My life has been ruined until the age of 43, but how many others are there?
"I'm talking about hundreds of children who Barry Bennell cherry-picked for various football teams and who now, as adults, might still be living with that awful fear."
Sue Ravenlaw, head of equality and safeguarding at the Football Association, said she applauded Woodward's courage after he spoke out.
She added that the FA takes all matters of safeguarding and child protection seriously and encouraged anyone who may have experienced or is experiencing abuse in football to contact the NSPCC or Childline.
