£7000 benefit cheat football manager caught red-handed

This football manager who claimed nearly £7,000 in benefits because he was ''virtually unable to walk" was caught - playing and training with his team. Lying John Alexander, 68, was able to claim Disability Living Allowance after telling benefit officials he was barely able to move. But he was caught red-handed training his footie team - jogging, kicking, retrieving loose balls and gesticulating from the side of a pitch. Fraud investigators filmed him running, nimbly turning and passing the ball with his non league side FC Manadon in Plymouth, Devon.
