My apologies guys. I didn't mean to bombard anyone. I for sure don't post all of our shows as I don't want to come out as spam. We have done a lot of shows though with former Canadian Internationals so those I throw in here as I assumed there would be interest. Moving forward I will add a thread in the players forum for any of those interviews. Thanks for the feedback so I follow the proper protocols.

@dalglish07 The one player who didn't go along with the Merlion Cup fix was Paul James.  He wrote a book 8 years ago with a large section on that scandal.  However, it's hard to trust everything he says.  He's been addicted to crack cocaine for decades and it was mentioned on this board that he is now homeless.
 
On that NIagara CSL game, Vice published a story on it back in 2015 that's a must read
https://www.vice.com/en/article/nzxwzb/soccer-match-fixing-has-infiltrated-canada
 
 
 

There was also a Trois Rivieres Attak game that was fixed, though the Attak were not in on the fix. An excellent podcast, one piece of advice, when a guest is on a roll with a good story, don't interrupt and change the subject,
I also enjoyed the John Limniatis interview, he was also part of the roster at the Merlion cup but was not involved in the fix.   I coached him for one weekend, I was coaching the club U18 team and called him up from the U16 team for a tournament.

I think the 4 players in on the fix were Vrablic, Norman, Cheuden and Marinaro.  Only Norman sorta resurrected his career.  James was the 5th but was the person I believe who turned them in.  It was such a huge disappointment as it gutted four players from the side who were a big part of those that were going to take over from the 86 team (for most of whom it was there last hurrah).  Along with Samuel and Dolan, Norman was a revelation at the World Cup with Vrablic not far behind.

JamboAl,
Declan mentions Canada and the CSL as one of the most corrupt leagues in the world. Have a listen to his story about a team from the Niagara Peninsula, for me it is perhaps the best part of the episode and an absolutely mental story.

Listen in to this episode. Author Declan Hill who wrote "The Fix" discusses our national team fixing a game in the 1987 Merlion Cup. He also notes that our country is one of the worst when it comes to match fixing. Intriguing stuff.
Soccer Snobs - Episode #31 – Declan Hill author of “The Fix”
Episode #31 – The Snobs strike gold here being joined by Declan Hill a world renowned author of "The Fix" and a leading expert in match fixing in soccer.  This is a real eye opener and our listeners are in for an absolute treat. Listen to some great stories about his infiltration into a match fixing gang, how to potentially end match fixing and does Declan Hill like pulp in his orange juice? Has he played FIFA on Xbox and what local Ottawa soccer team did he play for? All this and a ton more!!

Our Podcast had the pure pleasure to interview Carol Anne. What a story, from being an Olympic speed skater to refereeing the Women's Olympic Gold Medal game. This FIFA referee represented Canada for years on the world stage. She was so engaging, funny and gave amazing insight into the referee world. This was truly one of if not the most enjoyable interview we've done. I can't recommend listening to Carol Anne enough, referee, player, coach, whatever your role in the game we can all learn from her.
