Fraudster Russell King, who left Notts County on the brink of collapse, hid away in his house after being confronted over the Munto Finance scandal.
The 62-year-old, now living near Southampton after being released from prison, refused to come out of his house to be questioned by Alice Levine for a BBC podcast.
The Beeston-born presenter aimed to talk to King as part of a BBC Radio 5 Live series titled 'Sport's Strangest Crimes: The Trillion Dollar Conman'.
