Confessions of a Match Fixer

The ex-match-fixing footballer tells fellow pro, Troy Deeney, his incredible story and blows the lid off the organised crime groups making millions by betting on rigged matches.

From Crystal Palace's Young Player of the year, to shifting vast piles of cash and recruiting fellow players to compromise and betray the beautiful game, this is the gob-smacking inside story of how match-fixing was able to spread across an entire English football league. Along the way, Moses encounters some of the world's most successful and dangerous match-fixers and finds himself drawn deeper and deeper into a chaotic and sinister life ruled by money and power.
