Ex-England boss Sven Goran Eriksson recently revealed that North Korean officials once approached him to try and fix the draw for the 2010 World Cup in their favour.
The former Three Lions manager was working at Notts County at the time having been hired by conman Russell King to operate as the Magpies' director of football. Asked to explain King's infamous stint at the club as part of a BBC Radio 5 Live Series, Eriksson recalled the trip to North Korea.
"They (North Korean representatives) knew I was a member of FIFA Football Committee," the 74-year-old They said, 'Can you please help us?'. 'Of course I can help you, if I can', I said. I thought they wanted balls or shoes or something like that.
