Marcus Evans - Millionaire British football club owner at centre of Irish ticketing scandal

A multi-millionaire British football club owner who is known to keep a deliberately low profile is this morning at the centre of Ireland’s Olympics ticket touting controversy alongside four other directors of one of his lucrative firms.

Marcus Evans, the 52-year-old owner and chairman of English Championship side Ipswich Town FC since 2007, is today the subject of an international arrest warrant due to the growing scandal engulfing this country’s Olympic games.

The Bury-born businessman was yesterday named by Brazilian police alongside fellow THG Sports directors David Patrick Gilmore from Ireland; Maarten Van Os from the Netherlands; Martin Studd from Britain; and the previously arrested Irishman Kevin James Mallon.
