Former FIFA president Joao Havelange and executive committee member Ricardo Teixeira received millions of pounds in bribes from the collapsed marketing company ISL, according to a report from a Swiss prosecutor published by FIFA. Lundekvam claimed the spot-fixing took place in Premier League matches in the late 1990s and early 2000s. He told Norwegian TV station NRK: “It’s not something I’m proud of. “For a while we did this almost every week. We made a fair bit of money. We could make deals with the opposing captain about, for example, betting on the first throw, the first corner, who started with the ball, a yellow card or a penalty. “Those were the sorts of thing we had influence over.” Lundekvam insisted he and his fellow players never rigged the result of a match. He said: “The results were never on the agenda. That is something I would never have done. We were professional competitors. Even though what we did, of course, was illegal, it was just a fun thing.”
