Book
Investigating the sinister underbelly of modern soccer, this book exposes the new phenomenon of taxing - a protection racket in which villains force Premiership stars and agents to hand over cash under threat of injury and death. It also reveals the stories of some of the stars who have fallen foul of the game's godfathers.
