    After last weeks arrests every football fan and player in the world should take a moment to thank a man who I believe probably never played a game of football in his life. The investigative journalist Andrew Jennings. If you dont know anything or only a little bit about him, I think this tweet by him will tell you everything you need to know:




    Andrew Jennings is an investigative journalist who spent years exposing corruption in the IOC and FIFA. He had incriminating evidence of FIFA corruption since the mid 2000s. But police institution in Europe took his evidence seriously. According to him it was in 2009 that he handed incriminating evidence of corruption concerning Chuck Blazer over to the FBI.

    This man did world football a great service. And I believe he should for this be rememberd with just as much fondness as one may remember a great player.

    Thank you.
