WINCHESTER - Bruce Grobbelaar, accused of taking money to throw games, was involved in forecasting results, a court heard yesterday. The former Liverpool and Southampton goalkeeper was said to have talked solely about match forecasting, said his counsel, Mr Rodney Klevan QC. He told a key prosecution witness, Mr Christopher Vincent, a former business associate and close friend of Mr Grobbelaar "You've twisted it to make it seem worse." Mr Vincent said that was not correct.
