Absolute bollocks mate.
The guy was a chancer and opportunist.
Not many people know this, but I have a contact at the club... no names, no pack drill... and he assures me that he was sponsored by Teddy's Toothpicks, a Gorton based toothpick emporium and he would stick it between his teeth every time he was interviewed on Matche of the Daye, with the sponsor's name clearly visible through a magnifying glass.
When it became known to the FA that was the beginning of the end for him. Forget bungs and under-the-counter payments... it was all about his toothpicks.
Did it serve a purpose... no, it was pointless...

He was only the first ever superstar of football!
[Yeah, shock horror! that was Billy, not George Best!]
