The Fix background

The Fix

The lives of several football players and coaches are turned upside down after they are accused of being involved in fixed matches.

In the early 1960s, former footballer Jimmy Gauld masterminded a massive UK football scandal by bribing numerous strikers and goalkeepers to fix matches, making a fortune at the bookies. The scandal was uncovered by investigative journalist Mike Gabbett, who relentlessly pursued the story until he exposed top football star Tony Kay and his corrupt friends, leading to their imprisonment.
