Foul Play
Tackling Football's Integrity Problem
By Dan Hough

A problem with integrity exists in football. Football has a terrible reputation for many reasons, including players' careless actions on and off the field, incorrect calls made by TV commentators during games, and corrupt administration. Large sums of money attract a lot of attention from the public, and with that comes a greater need to ensure that the sport is accessible to all, conducted professionally, and abides by all applicable laws. Former football player, current professor of corruption analysis, and lifelong admirer Dan Hough examines the sport to provide solutions for restoring its honour. In order to get to the bottom of things, he examines the parts played by the players, owners, managers, referees, commentators, and spectators. The character of the sport is defined, surprisingly enough, not by the money swirling around top-flight clubs but by the manner in which the game is played, controlled, governed, and regulated. The time has come to address it appropriately.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Dan Hough is a professor of politics at the University of Sussex. He has been a consultant on corruption and anti-corruption issues for the UK government, the Saudi Arabian anti-corruption commission, and the South Korean anti-corruption commission. Dan's excellent new book should strike a chord with all those involved in the beautiful game—we can and must improve the sport’s integrity both on and off the pitch—and he steers us in the right direction.
