"Mr President, professional football was born in my constituency 127 years ago, when Aston Villa and Stoke City and the mighty West Bromwich Albion got together with a handful of other football clubs to form the Football League.
The beautiful game went on to become the world’s dominant sport, but now the beautiful game is being dragged through the mud, brought into disrepute by Sepp Blatter’s disgraceful chairmanship of FIFA, which has become a discredited organisation, riven as we now know with criminality and money-laundering at the very top. It defies belief and possibility that the autocratic ‘Don Blatterone’ never knew what was going on – in any other organisation he would have been gone decades ago.
Ordinary football fans that I represent and that we all represent are outraged and feel tainted by what is going on. What is the matter with these people, when 60 migrant workers a day are said to die for every game of the Qatar World Cup? And what is the matter with us that we stand by and do nothing about it?"@en1
