Getty Images | Chelsea F.C. secured injunctions against two men at the High Court on Monday after they admitted reselling match tickets.

“I’m a tiny, weeny cog in the running of it. A tiny cog in the biggest clock in the world,” said one of the men in court.

The legal campaign comes after what the club describes as “a long-term undercover operation” with security agents posing as customers. 

Premier League clubs have internally agreed that more must be done to stop the practice.
