10 Footballing Scandals That Shocked The World

The fact that this entry is simply titled with the name of the former FIFA president shows clearly that there's more than one reason for him being on this list.

Never far from controversy, whether it be through actions or ill-informed comments, Sepp Blatter is one of the most despicable people to grace the footballing world in the last few decades.

It would take too long to go through all the things which have been thrown the way of Blatter, but sexual assault allegations, bribery, influencing elections, and financial mismanagement are just a few of the incidents fronted by Blatter.

He's now well away from football, along with Michel Platini, after being banned from all football-related activities for eight years in 2015.

Remarkably, despite a plethora of evidence supporting the original verdict, Blatter had the audacity to appeal the decision. As expected, it was flatly rejected as FIFA looked to move as far away from the Blatter era as possible.

Few men have universally united the footballing world in forming an agreement of someone being at the bottom of the barrel, but Blatter comes as close as anyone thanks to his actions.
