In all my years supporting Charlton I had no idea that one of our ex players, Jimmy Gauld, was the organiser of this match fixing ring and was sentenced to 4 years! I wonder how many other ex Charlton players have gone on to serve time?
I know it was before he joined us (on loan from Birmingham) but didn't Ricky Otto do a spell inside before becoming a professional footballer at Leyton Orient?
Peter Storey of Arsenal for running a brothel, I believe Graham French of Luton Luke McCormick of Plymouth - drink driver Mark Ward of West Ham, drug dealing

I was aware of that along with Lane and Kay at Sheffs Weds, what I was interested to understand was how the betting scam worked.
One of those two (Lane or Kay), ran a sports club ground/bar in Blackheath for a fair while some years back....after he came out of the slammer that is.

Yes. it was in Manor Way Blackheath....can't remember the name of it now....someone on here will know no doubt as it had several football pitches and was well used for weekend local football....also for cricket if I'm not mistaken.
I'm pretty sure it had a well known name at one time but has long since changed hands...possibly several times since then.

It was Grindlays Bank Sports Ground that Tony Kaye was bar steward at in the early 90's. Grindlays were taken over by ANZ then sold to Standard & Chartared.
Blackheath CC 3rd XI used the ground sometimes as did SE3's other famous club, The Red Dogs.

Was that the result of one of his speculative shots on goal?
I think it was something to do with drugs
