28) English football betting scandal, 1915

Under the cover of war, Liverpool and Manchester United tried to fix a league match in United’s favour, to save them from relegation. Players from both sides placed bets on the result, a 2-0 win to United (at odds of 7-1), but Liverpool’s lack of effort was too blatant. An FA investigation led to seven players being banned for life, although five of them had the ban lifted in 1919 for gallantry during the war.
