Foul Play
Gepresenteerd door Audible
De opa van Ed Jervis was de legendarische Engelse voetbalkeeper Gordon Banks. Hij werd in 1966 wereldkampioen en ook vier jaar later was hij geweldig in vorm. Tot hij vlak voor de kwartfinale plotseling ziek werd en niet mee kon doen. Engeland vloog uit het toernooi. De officiële oorzaak was voedselvergiftiging, maar er is ook een hardnekkig gerucht dat hij door de CIA was vergiftigd. Jervis gaat samen met onderzoeksjournalist Gabriel Gatehouse op zoek naar de waarheid in de podcast Foul Play. Ze spreken oud-teamgenoten en voormalige spionnen, duiken in archieven en doen behoorlijk veel ontdekkingen. De ziekte van Banks blijkt verband te houden met onder meer de Koude Oorlog en de moord op JFK.

He’s heard that the CIA poisoned his grandfather, legendary goalkeeper Gordon Banks. True, Banks did get ill with food poisoning at the World Cup in Mexico in 1970, causing England to crash out. Investigative journalist Gabriel Gatehouse is sceptical at first. But when Ed’s mum Wendy drops a tantalizing clue, Gabriel checks in with one of his old CIA contacts, who tells him: i

Introducing: Foul Play
<p>Ed is the grandson of footballing legend Gordon Banks. He was a national icon, the only goalkeeper ever to win the soccer World Cup for England. But Ed’s heard a rumour: that in 1970, while defending the title, his granddad, his hero, was poisoned… by the CIA. All part of a Cold War plot to bolster a military dictatorship in Latin America, supposedly. Could this possibly be true? Banks did get ill in Mexico in 1970 with food poisoning. And England crashed out, marking the start of decades of
