FC Manadon 'disabled' manager John Alexander caught having a kickabout

FC Manadon manager John Alexander has been given an electronic tag after being spotted jumping around and kicking footballs, despite claiming disability allowance.

The 68-year-old, who is in charge of the non-league side in Plymouth, has reportedly received up to £6,737 from the government after claiming that a car accident left him immobile.

The coach has since been filmed by investigators jogging with ease and kicking a football on the touchline during a game.

Alexander admitted to fraud and has been handed a three-month curfew.
