The 63-year-old Chung dismissed the allegation by fifa 16 coins declaring that the only time such an agreement could have been struck was at a meeting attended by William, the FA president, and Cameron, which he described as inconceivable.

Chung said that the investigatory chamber (IC) of Fifa’s ethics committee eventually dropped any charge relating to the claim but not another action against him over his conduct ahead of the vote that decided the hosts for the next two World Cup finals.

In a 26-page statement denying any wrongdoing, Chung said: “One of the questions that the IC sent me on Feb 13, 2015 was the following: ‘Would it surprise you to learn that the chairman of England 2018, Mr Geoff Thompson, has admitted to agreeing to trade your vote for Korea 2022 [England 2018], in exchange for England’s vote for Korea 2022?’

“This allegedly happened when I last met Mr Geoff Thompson when together we paid a courtesy visit on hellofifa.com Prince William at the Prince’s request in his suite at Baur au Lac Hotel in Zurich on Dec 1, 2010, one day before the vote. When I went to the Prince’s suite, Prime Minister Cameron was also there.
