Audible's new podcast series 'Foul Play' investigates the controversial theory that legendary English goalkeeper Gordon Banks was poisoned by the CIA during the 1970 World Cup in Mexico. Known for his iconic 'save of the century,' Banks missed a crucial quarter-final match against West Germany, leading to speculation about foul play. The series, set to launch on May 28, features investigative journalist Gabriel Gatehouse and Banks' grandson, Ed Jervis, as they explore the depths of this conspiracy theory. They interview former teammates and ex-spies while examining CIA documents to piece together the narrative. Their findings suggest that Banks' experience may be linked to Cold War espionage and even the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Gatehouse noted that what began as a family inquiry turned into a serious exploration of historical political intrigue, revealing unsettling truths about the era's covert operations. The podcast promises to shed light on a story that intertwines sports history with the shadowy world of intelligence.
