This intriguing exploration of the 1915 match-fixing scandal that occured between Manchester United and Liverpool FC. In the wake of the First World War fans came together in an attempt to pull off a surprising plot which resulted in seven players being banned for life.

In 1915 one of the most shameful occasions in sporting history took place. The players of Manchester United and Liverpool conspired to arrange that United would win their game with Liverpool by 2-0, thus permitting the conspirators to cash in on bets placed on that pre-arranged score-line of odds of 7/1.
