European football chiefs were given evidence of one of football's greatest corruption scandals years before taking action, it has been claimed.
In 1984 the president of Belgian side Anderlecht bribed the referee ahead of their Uefa Cup semi-final victory over Nottingham Forest.
The facts were finally revealed in 1997 and Anderlecht were banned from European competition for a year.
But new evidence shows Uefa was told about the bribe as early as 1992.
