Slimy Sepp slinks back

-

DISGRACED former FIFA president Sepp Blatter is sure to be the centre of attention when he arrives in Russia a week tomorrow to watch the World Cup as a guest of the host country. His six-year ban from all football activity does not preclude him from going to games.

Meanwhile, the biggest certainty of current FIFA chief Gianni Infantino’s congress speeches today is that he will mention his ‘legends’. The footballer­s — including Cafu, Clarence Seedorf, Luis Figo and former Arsenal women’s player Alex Scott — played in his promotiona­l pre-congress football match just to show how Infantino has returned football to FIFA.
