He appeared in court alongside Italian Giuseppe Pagliara, 62, of East Drive, Bury, Greater Manchester, and Dax Price, 47, of Susans Lane, Sittingbourne, Kent, who pleaded not guilty to two counts of paying and facilitating a bribe.

All three men were granted unconditional bail after a brief hearing and will appear at London's Southwark Crown Court on October 22.

They were charged last month after an investigation into English football and the activities of players' agents.
