If I am ever called to testify in any judicial hearing, I'll be happy to attend, as my conscience is totally clear.
I love football and I believe in fair play, both on and off the pitch"

Swansea City midfielder Jefferson Montero has also been named on the list but so far the welsh side have declined to comment.
