Book description
What's wrong with Football today? In June 2011, Sepp Blatter was
elected - uncontested - as president of Fifa once more. Despite
attempts to halt the vote amidst allegations and accusations of
corruption, the show went on. As How They Stole The Game, David
Yallop's classic expose of the dark heart behind the beautiful game
showed when it was first published, Football was rotten from the top
down. In the book Yallop reveals the story of João Havelenge, Fifa
President from 1974 to 1998, the Godfather of football, and how he
turned a religion to millions of fans into a multi-billion dollar
business, riven with suspicious deals and unexpected payments.
