Esmond Million is a former football goalkeeper.
Playing career
Million played for Middlesbrough F.C. from 1956 to 1962.[1] He joined Bristol Rovers F.C. in 1962.[2]
In April 1963, he took a £300 bribe to throw a match. The ploy failed and Million was exposed.[3] After having been banned from football for life,[4] he emigrated with his family to Canada where he became active in professional ice hockey. He would eventually return to Britain and is now thought to be living in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.[5]
