Review:

"Andrew Jennings gave his journalistic life to the story of FIFA corruption. Now as much as ever, we are all in his debt. Thank you Andrew" -- David Walsh * Sunday Times * "The reporter behind the biggest sports scandal of the century " * Washington Post * "Credit in this saga should go to the dogged obsession of a single reporter, Andrew Jennings, 71, who has traced Sepp Blatter's footsteps for more than a decade. Jennings worked for the Sunday Times and BBC's Panorama. His BBC film about Fifa corruption, `The Beautiful Bung', appeared as long ago as 2006. Since then he, and subsequently the Sunday Times, have been merciless in pursuit of the story" * Guardian *
