Join Max Portman as he speaks to Ben Robinson, an investigate journalist and series producer for the BBC about Ben's book "The Trillion Dollar Conman: The Astonishing True Story of the Most Audacious Fraud in Sport", released in October 2024 by Icon Books.
Ben's book covers the high and lows of the 2009/10 football season, where Notts County, the world's oldest professional football club (founded in 1862), and struggling to survive in English Football's League Two (the 4th highest tier of English football), were subject to a mysterious takeover. This takeover, supposedly backed by the Bahrain royal family, promised millions of pounds worth of investment and marquee players, including Sol Campbell and Kasper Schmeichel, were signed by former England manager Sven-Göran Eriksson, who had been appointed as a director of football to take the club all the way to the Premier League.
However, within months, the dream turned into a nightmare as it transpired that the club, the players and the fans had been mis-sold a dream by a convicted fraudster called Russell King, who's elaborate scheme involved F1 teams, the North Korean regime and a false bank guarantee; All of which Ben and Max discuss throughout this episode, amongst many other weird and wonderful happenings in Nottingham that season!
If you want to learn more about this subject, Ben's book has already turned into a podcast series with the same title as his book, hosted by Comedian and podcaster Alice Levine, which can be found on BBC Sounds.
If you love football or just love a good story full of twists, turns and drama that would make a soap opera jealous, this is the perfect podcast episode for you!
