On the subject of match-fixing, I’ve never heard the story related by Roy Greenslade on his Guardian blog today. Well worth a read for anyone who thinks match-fixing came in with internet betting.

Oh dear you’ve gone too far this time !! – casting The Don as the Godfather of match fixing. Yes of course the Daily Mirror revelations of the 1970′s crop up in every biography of the era but I wont have it Sir!.
