'Exposes a dark and corrupt underworld in British football' Joao Castelo-Branco, ESPN
'Gritty, dark and inspiring - you won't have read a story like this before' Daniel Taylor, The Athletic and New York Times
'The descent from talented footballer to convicted criminal is shocking. The journey thereafter is nothing short of inspirational' Rob Dorsett, Sky Sports
'A compelling and necessary story' Nicolas Sayde, Council of Europe
***
In 2012, English football was rocked by the biggest match-fixing operation to hit these shores in the modern era. An Asian syndicate had infiltrated the Conference South with players being offered vast sums of money to help rig games and net millions of pounds for the fixers. Loyal fans attending matches were oblivious to the fact that outcomes had been predetermined. The remarkable story of how this syndicate was able to take hold of the national sport is told to us by a man who not only played in many of these games, but went to jail for helping to fix them - Moses Swaibu.
Fixed breaks new ground as Moses Swaibu becomes the first player ever to write openly about how he helped to fix games, revealing exactly what happens on the pitch when a match is being manipulated. He also exposes how the criminal gangs operate, how young professional players are targeted and groomed and the threats of violence that are used to keep them in check. From fixer, to rehabilitation, Swaibu's story of redemption offers a fascinating insight into the ugly side of the beautiful game. This is a sporting account like none ever written before.
