Fraud, of course, is a heinous crime and never once has Planet Football been tempted to display even a morsel of sympathy for your average crooked, shifty, low-life swindler. Well . . . until now. Geoffrey Maxwell, former coach of the Jamaican football team is in a spot of bother for defrauding a pharmaceuticals company to the tune of $22 million. Did he splurge the loot on private jets?

Nope. He poured it in to the club he now coaches, Waterhouse, paid for a new pitch, paid players' wages, bought gear for the club's teams, donated to the local community's needy, sent children to school and paid for operations on two children. "You cannot use people's money to do these things," said Magistrate Martin Gayle, on sentencing Geoff to 12 months in prison.
