A man who swindled a soccer club out of more than $23,000 enjoyed "a few months of lavish living", while "years of anguish" continue for the organisation, a court has heard.
Aaron David Alexander, aged in his early 50s, faced the start of sentencing proceedings in the ACT Magistrates Court on Monday.
After a protracted legal saga, Alexander, a former president of Gungahlin United Football Club, was found guilty of stealing more than $23,546 from the non-profit.
