Fucking hell. In hindsight you have to say that it would explain a lot of Sodje's erratic behavior on the field.
Totally stunned.
I can kind of agree. There were times he looked really good, and then times he made absolutely ridiculous mistakes - bad passes, terrible challenges... if they were indeed mistakes.
Mind you, the warning signs were there, when his SUV was nicked and then returned with some damage to it, he did say he would have to take it to a garage to get it fixed
Makes you wonder how common cheating in betting is , you've only got see how players dive to the floor for penalties.
Having just seen the video surely this is just the tip of the iceberg , i don't know how betting on corners, yellow / red cards etc can be legit, must be very tempting for a player with the money on offer, especially if they are in the twilight of their career.
There's one specific incident mentioned in the Telegraph when he got sent off in February this year for Pompey against Oldham, reckoned he got 70 grand for it.

I think it was in the Upton Park years that we did this every time we kicked off.

Bang out of order on fans and the players that have had nothing to do with it.
