Dies aged 100, after 40 years at the top of the FIFA gravy train.

Quality comment from Gary Lineker:

"Joao Havelenge, the former FIFA president has died. Football gave him so much.
Yes, you read that correctly."

I'm all against speaking ill of the dead but some people have done so much in their life to deserve it.

Fair play to Lineker, speaking his mind. He's also pretty open in his thoughts of Sepp Blatter.

And his ill gotten gains are nicely laundered, maybe the inheritors will give it back
