Description

Match Fixer takes place inside the murky underbelly of Asian football. Corruption is destroying The Beautiful Game in Asia and has spread its tentacles into the UK via spread betting cartels. Against such a backdrop, former West Ham apprentice striker Chris Osborne arrives in Singapore for a final roll of the dice to get his once promising career back on track. However, not even a boyhood spent growing up in London's East End prepares him for the crooked shenanigans, bloated former British footballing jetsam, and the underground party drugs scene that welcome him to life in paradise.
