Grobbelaar falls foul of his friends
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Bruce Grobbelaar will wake up this morning to contemplate two weeks without wages or football, and an anxious Christmas period ahead.
Grobbelaar has been suspended and fined the maximum amount by his club, Southampton, for failing to return on time from an international tournament in his native Zimbabwe.
Meanwhile the hearing of allegations of match-fixing against himself, John Fashanu and Hans Segers has been adjourned until 3 January.
Southampton are upset that a player they have stood by during all the allegations promised "hand on heart" to return to the club on Friday 24 November. He did not show and Saints were forced to play the Premiership match against Bolton at The Dell with three outfield players as substitutes. Grobbelaar eventually turned up last Tuesday.
