A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

David Yallop is widely considered to be the world's leading investigative writer. In the course of his career, he has met with some of the world's most powerful and most dangerous men, often he has uncovered truths that they had wanted to keep buried. Every one of his books has exploded myths and exposed the truth with electrifying precision.

His other books include In God's Name, the startling investigation into the murder of Pope John Paul I, and Unholy Alliance, in which Yallop revealed for the first time the real power and wealth of the drug cartels, the biggest multi-national on earth.

Now How They Stole The Game does for football what In God's Name did for the Catholic Church. Yallop has gone to the heart of what many believe to be the world's greatest religion--football.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

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.
