Former Fifa president Sepp Blatter has begun legal proceedings against football's world governing body for "moral damage" and to reclaim around 60 of his watches he says are still in its possession.
Blatter's 17-year spell in charge of Fifa ended amid a corruption scandal in 2015 and he is serving a six-year ban from football.
He was found to have made a £1.3m "disloyal payment" to former Uefa boss Michel Platini. Both deny any wrongdoing.
Blatter, who is now 83, alleges that false information was spread in relation to money received by him after the 2014 World Cup.
Fifa said Blatter's views should be seen "against the background of his own conduct in office over a period of decades".
I say he should get his watches back. That way, he can use them to count down the hours, minutes and seconds until his FIFA ban expires .
Moral damage, on the other hand - he did most of that to himself...
