Foul!
by Andrew Jennings
Andrew Jennings is a top investigative journalist and has done all sorts of things that people would consider more serious, but he has really lifted the lid on how corrupt some parts of the modern-day game really are. He is the only journalist who has ever been banned from FIFA press conferences. Sepp Blatter absolutely hates him. Blatter has been the president of FIFA since 1998. Football is incredibly undemocratic. You get people who have been in power for years and years and years and they nobble their opponents so they get to carry on.

Maradona was caught up in a very murky world in Naples. But Football is a very murky world. This book tells the story of the grubby corruption at the heart of football’s ruling body, Fifa. At least Maradona, unlike some of his peers, never had anything to do with that.
