can't find the original article, Golden Fix, an evidence of corruption, by brian glanville

ITALIAN football, alas, is still in a state of denial.
Very recently, in a newspaper column, I wrote about the way Inter in the 1960s regularly bribed or tried to bribe referees of their European second-leg home semifinals.
All this -- plus an exhaustive investigation into the previous malefactions by Inter and the attempt by Solti and Itallo Allodi (previously Inter's secretary) to bribe Francisco Marques Lobo, referee of the Derby-Juventus semifinal of 1973 -- received huge projection in the Sunday Times.
Subsequently, I wrote about the so-called Years of the Golden Fix in my book Champions of Europe, in my anthology Footballers Don't Cry and my autobiography, Football Memories.
Since it's all been in the public domain since the 1970s, how could there logically be such a furor of protest as has followed my recent column? Never has a writ been issued by anybody charged or concerned. So why should there now be foolish talk of an action being launched?
I'm informed that my old friends Giacinto Facchetti and Sandro Mazzola of that Inter team of the 60s are very upset. I'm sorry. I cannot believe that they knew anything about what so shamefully was going on at the time. But surely they cannot have been unaware of the Sunday Times investigation and its colossal reaction in Italy which followed.
It was fiercely and disingenuously attacked in Italy, just as I am being assailed now. How much healthier it would be were Italian football to emerge from this sick state of denial, acknowledge what happened, and cease to distort history.
After all, no one is claiming that Angelo Moratti's son, Massimo, the present president of Inter, however often criticized by their fans, is anything but an honest man. |
