Three words that are synonymous with each other in modern football. However, it wasn’t always like this. Until 1974, FIFA was headed by hardworking, football people. That was until Joao Havelange became president of FIFA. This is the story of how Havelange won the presidency, bribed officials, and moulded the FIFA we know today. This is the eighteenth in a series, written by Jonathan Wilson, exploring the entire history of football. Illustrated by Philippe Fenner.
