FIFA vice-president denies fee allegations

A vice-president of football’s world governing body FIFA asked for the fee for an international friendly to be paid into his personal bank account, the former head of the Scottish FA alleged tonight.

John McBeth, who retired as Scottish FA president in May, told the BBC TV programme Panorama that Jack Warner asked for the fee for Trinidad and Tobago’s friendly match in Edinburgh in May 2004 to be paid directly to him.
