Moses Swaibu, a former Crystal Palace Academy player, unveils one of football's most enigmatic secrets in this explosive memoir. From his early days as a promising defender to his descent into the shadowy world of match-fixing, Moses Swaibu unveils the complex network of corruption that threatens the integrity of football.
Through unprecedented insider access, Swaibu exposes the sophisticated machinery of match-fixing syndicates operating across continents. His raw, unfiltered account details how Asian betting syndicates infiltrate football clubs, targeting vulnerable players with promises of life-changing money. With unflinching honesty, he describes the precise mechanics of fixing matches—the subtle signals, the choreographed mistakes, and the devastating impact on teammates and loyal fans.
Beyond the mechanics of match-fixing, Swaibu reveals the human cost of this criminal enterprise. Through personal experience, he illustrates how fixers maintain control through intimidation and violence, creating a prison of fear that traps players in a cycle of corruption. The book details the psychological warfare waged against players, the midnight meetings with crime bosses, and the constant threat of exposure.
But the novel isn't just a story about corruption—it's a testament to redemption. Now working to prevent others from following his path, Swaibu provides an essential warning to young players about the predators lurking in football's shadows. His journey from participant to whistleblower provides an unusual perspective on how the sport can fight back against this growing threat.
Fixed: Confessions of a Match Fixer is more than a memoir—it's a crucial exposé that will forever change how you watch the game.
