King of Lies: Football's Greatest Con
King of Lies debuted on Sky to a fantastic reception.
"this one-off documentary relates the whole sorry and extraordinary tale. It captures both the high of the deal and the low that came when the reality was revealed - and all the guilt, the blame and consequences for the community that followed."
★★★★THE DAILY MAIL (WEEKEND)
"...everything is most certainly not what it seems in this tale of outrageous grift involving fictional Bahraini billions, a trip to North Korea, Sven-Göran Eriksson and Harry Potter villain Voldemort."
THE GUARDIAN
"a brilliant new Sky documentary… a breathtaking story… but it is Eriksson’s remarkable interview - filmed three months before his death in August last year - which is really heart wrenching."
THE MIRROR
"one of the most extraordinary scandals ever to grip English football"
THE SUN
"This jaw-dropping documentary… one of the most ludicrous episodes in modern football history… retold in all its jaw-dropping detail in a new Sky documentary that remains eye-wateringly preposterous."
THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
"Former England boss Eriksson recounts his bizarre seven months at Notts County in one of football’s most remarkable scandals. Notts County, the oldest professional club in the world, became embroiled in a multi-million fraud and money laundering scam which is being laid bare in incredible detail in a brilliant new Sky documentary."
THE MIRROR
"This gripping documentary tells the wild story of the 2009 takeover of Notts County by a consortium with dubious links and a conman at their heart."
