FIFA "STOLE" FOOTBALL!!!
thats the extrodinary statement made tonight by Premier League chairman Sir Dave Richards (Left) against Fifa and Uefa
he accuses both bodies of 'stealing' football from the English
Richards, who also sits on the FA board, was speaking at the International Sport Security Conference in Doha, Qatar.
"England gave the world football. It gave the best legacy anyone could give. We gave them the game.
"For 50 years...we were the governance of the game. We wrote the rules, designed the pitches and everything else.
"Then 50 years later, some guy came along and said you're liars and they actually stole it. It was called FIFA.
"Fifty years later, another gang came along called UEFA and stole a bit more."
the Premier League moved quickly to distance itself from its chairman's comments, saying in a statement: "Sir Dave is attending the conference in a private and personal capacity and his comments in no way reflect the views of the Premier League."
quite unbelievable
