McClaren’s agent attacked over bung claim

PRESSURE is building on Steve McClaren’s agent Colin Gordon to produce evidence of corruption in football after his claims that the English game is viewed as “the dirty man of Europe”.

Gordon, who is also Theo Walcott’s agent, claimed the practice of ‘bung-taking’ is rife in the game and is a “very sophisticated business”.

There has been a furious reaction from the Association of Football Agents, while the FA will be writing to Gordon to ask him to back up his remarks.
