Andrew Jennings, investigative reporter, speaks during a Senate hearing entitled "Examining the Governance and Integrity of International Soccer" on July 15, 2015 on Capitol Hill in Washington,DC.
In the book, Jennings uncovers the massive scale in which Blatter and his acolytes in Zurich abused their positions and misappropriated millions of dollars in their unquenchable thirst for power, more money and lucrative kick-backs
For everything he did to expose the misdeeds of the Blatter administration, Jennings never lived to see the disgraced former world football boss convicted
Andrew Jennings, the internationally acclaimed investigative journalist, must be smiling in his grave. Why? The lifetime works of this uncompromising British reporter, who once said that it matters when bad men take control of the people’s sport and use it for their own personal ends, are nearing fruition.
Jennings, who died on January 8, 2022 at the age of 78, pursued the bad guys for the better part of his illustrious career with a relentless resolve to expose and have them brought to book. This is how he described himself in his blockbuster of a novel, Foul! The Secret World of Fifa: Bribes, Vote-Rigging and Ticket Scandals: “When children ask me what it is I do exactly, I tell them I’ve made a life and a living out of chasing bad men.”
