Brentford and England striker Ivan Toney discussed his betting ban on Steven Bartlett's podcast.
"It was far from match-fixing," Toney said, discussing his meeting with the FA in May 2022.
"When the club actually pulled me into a room and said the FA have been in touch and they want to speak to you. I said, 'OK, no problem' and he said, 'Have you done any bets whilst you've been at Brentford and have you been betting on football?'. "I said, 'No problem, I'm not deleting nothing'. They asked me certain things that happened seven or eight years ago. So much information thrown at you at one time, it's kind of like, 'I actually can't remember'. I think I was in there for five hours. I wasn't aware what they were trying to get at."I didn't lie, I just couldn't really remember what they was asking for.
