He probably would have been in the 1966 squad if not team but for the scandal as well as Peter Swan. Born in Sheffield, Kay played for Sheffield Wednesday before becoming Britain's most expensive footballer when transferred to Everton for £60,000 in 1962. Kay was capped once for England. At the time of the scandal Kay was recongnised as the missing piece in Everton's stride for domestic dominence. He was a tough constructive midfield player and the new idol of Goodison having joined and helping the team win the title in 1962-1963. However in 1964, the ''Sunday People'' broke the story that Kay, along with fellow Sheffield Wednesday players David ''Bronco'' Layne and England international Peter Swan, through the instigation of Jimmy Gauld, had bet on Kay's previous side Sheffield Wednesday to lose whilst Kay was there. The three were convicted of conspiracy to defraud, Kay on the basis of a taped conversation, one of the first times such evidence was admitted in an English court. He was fined £150 and sentenced to four months imprisonment. On his release, after serving ten weeks, he was banned from football for life by the Football Association though the ban was rescinded seven years later by which time Kay was past his peak. Kay claims subsequently to have been summoned to London to explain the use of taped evidence to the notorious East End gangsters, Reggie and Ronnie Kray. The Kray twins. Kay spent 12 years in Spain avoiding arrest for selling a counterfeit diamond but, on his return to the UK, was only fined £400. He has since worked as a groundsman and, as of 2006 lives on Merseyside. He is portrayed by Jason Isaacs in the 1997 TV film The Fix, directed by Paul Greengrass, which tells the story of the scandal which ended his career.
