Delroy Facey
A FORMER Burnley FC loan striker has been arrested in connection with the alleged fixing of football matches.
The Daily Telegraph has reported that Delroy Facey is one of six men held by officers from the National Crime Agency.
The national newspaper claims it is part of the biggest match-rigging scandal for decades and that match fixers from Asia were targeting games in Britain.
Along with Facey, aged 33, who scored five goals in 14 games while on loan at Turf Moor in 2003 and is now an agent, the Telegraph says at least three of the men arrested were footballers.
