I've just watched a resurrection of the stories about the allegations against Don Revie of match fixing. Thrown in for good measure was mention that Billy Bremner was often used as the good between. The chief accuser in this tale, an obviously down on his luck and very forlorn looking Gary Sprake. The story is that none of his former team mates will talk to him any more because of his part in the 30 year old expose against the Don and Billy, both of whom, the reporter, Damian Henderson omitted to mention have been dead for a very long time and are therefore unable to defend themselves.
The report was obviously put together some time ago as the background was Sprake's first return to Elland Road since leaving in the early 70s. The match used as a backdrop was not recent as the crowd looked like a shade over 35000 however another shot showed Sprake sitting in an empty West Stand watching Sullivan warm up. It was very very very obviously a shabby piece of journalism put together to tie into today's interim report into transfers bungs issued by Lord Stephens. The BBC should be ashamed of themselves.
