Former Reggae Boy and current Tranmere Rovers FC defender Ian 'Pepe' Goodison -- one of six men arrested as part of a football spot-fixing investigation -- remains in police custody in the United Kingdom, RocYouFM news has learned.
According to reports in the British media, Goodison is the second Tranmere player linked to the scandal, after striker Akpo Sodje was fingered in the probe
Goodison, a Jamaican international, 41, is a hugely popular figure at Prenton Park where he has made 400 appearances, the British press said. He is still being quizzed by police while five other men have now been released on bail.
According to reports a statement from the club Monday said: "Tranmere Rovers is aware of reports in today's media regarding Ian Goodison.
"As this is an ongoing investigation the Club has no further comment at this time."
Efforts to contact Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) president Captain Horace Burrell for a comment proved futile Monday morning as he was said to be returning from the World Cup draw in Brazil.
