Claus Lundekvam from Norway admits that players manipulated the games while he was playing in England. Lundekvam who played 1996-2008 for Southampton told players manipulated for example fouls, throws and yellow cards. They didn't manipulate results though.

At one point we did it almost weekly. We made a good money he told.

Did you put that last sentence through a google translator??

I translated it myself from my text tv. My English is what it is. My apologies. But you get the drift.

i udnerstnad. Anyhow i seem to recall Le Tissier talking about a game when he kicked off and deliberately kicked the ball out of play straight away as they had a bet on the first throw inside the first 7 seconds or something like that.

I remember that too. Would be nice to know how many teams were in it.

Theo Robinson tried to do it as well, bit it didn't go for a throw, he actually scored.

It would have been funnier if you said he tried to kick it out for a goalkick but it went out for a throw-in.. But I get your drift..

Anyone else think Bywater has made a fortune on this? Or is he really that ****!

That throw in too himself that led to QPR's fourth is a contender.

What pisses me off about this is, do they not earn good enough money anyway? If not, how about just trying get your goal or clean sheet bonus. Greedy sodding footballers.

He actually missed the touch line, someone (Neil Shipperley?) kept the ball in, and nearly lost the bet. One of the funniest football stories I've ever heard described.

Extract from wiki:

In September 2009, Le Tissier revealed in his autobiography that he had placed a spread bet on a match he was involved in during his playing career. During an April 1995 match at Wimbledon, Le Tissier stood to win "well into four figures" after betting on the time of the first throw-in. After kicking off, he tried to overhit a pass to unsuspecting teammate Neil Shipperley, but due to nerves, underhit it and Shipperley was able to keep the ball in play. Le Tissier revealed he had "never run so much" in his life as he tried to put the ball out of play to avoid losing money, with the ball eventually going out of play after 70 seconds, meaning Le Tissier and his associates neither won nor lost money. The event was investigated by Hampshire Police but the Crown Prosecution Service refused to take the case further, citing that it did "not represent appropriate use of police resources" and "would not be in the public interest".

Wasn't it in the early 60s that Peter Swan and others from Sheffield Wednesday ended up in prison for match rigging?[/indent]

Player [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Gauld]Jimmy Gauld over several years systematically interfered with matches in the football league, enticing players into [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betting]betting on the outcome of fixed matches. His criminality came to light after he approached [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheffield_Wednesday_F.C.]Sheffield Wednesday player [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Layne]David Layne, a former colleague at [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swindon_Town_F.C.]Swindon Town, in December 1962 to identify a new target game.[[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed]citation needed] Layne suggested that Wednesday were likely to lose their imminent match against [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipswich_Town_F.C.]Ipswich Town and proposed to his fellow players [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Swan_%28footballer_born_1936%29]Peter Swan and [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Kay]Tony Kay that they ensure the outcome.[[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed]citation needed] The three all bet against their own side in the match.
In 1964, Gauld, in search of a final "payday", sold his story to the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunday_People]Sunday People for £7,000, incriminating the three Wednesday players. The paper broke the story on 12 April. Gauld's taped conversations were ultimately used to convict himself and the three Wednesday players, the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judge]judge making it clear that he held Gauld responsible for ruining the other three.
The four received jail sentences at their trial the following year, as did [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansfield_Town_F.C.]Mansfield Town players [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Philips]Brian Philips and [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sammy_Chapman]Sammy Chapman, along with [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ronald_Howells&action=edit&redlink=1]Ronald Howells, [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Thomson_%28footballer%29]Ken Thomson, [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Beattie]Dick Beattie and [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Fountain]Jack Fountain. Gauld was described by the judge as the "central figure" of the case and he received the heaviest sentence of four years in prison. On release, they were banned for life from any participation in football. Thirty-three players were prosecuted, in total.[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_betting_scandal_of_1964#cite_note-0][1]
The incident was dramatised in 1997 in a [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC]BBC film [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fix_%28TV_film%29]The Fix directed by [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Greengrass]Paul Greengrass and starring [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Isaacs]Jason Isaacs as Tony Kay and [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Coogan]Steve Coogan as Sunday People journalist Michael Gabbert, whose investigative work led to the uncovering of the scandal.
