In later years, after Tony got together with Becky Tallentire, my son Alex was interested in his story and wrote about him while at uni, for which we got hold of a copy of The Fix (possibly through Becky and possibly signed by Tony - I'm not sure!) - it's not great but it does star Jason Isaacs (as Kay), with Steve Coogan as a journo and Colin Welland as Harry Catterick! I keep in touch with Becky and see her often at St Luke's and had a quick chat at the recent Heritage Society event for Derek Temple.
The only other thing that my dad said about TK is that when it all broke in the papers (the Sunday People) they were serialising it and at one point said that some more players would be implicated the following week, including Liverpool's Ron Yeats - but that never materialised! Some things don't change!

My dad has been telling me he was one of the best players he saw when he first started going to Goodison.
He then went into the backstory of his ban, which I've since found out was made into a TV Film called The Fix.
Just how good was he ?
