Lancashire League: I am NOT in prison, says Jordaan The Lancashire Evening Telegraph - 23 July 1999 Former Lancashire League professional Corrie Jordaan today moved to quash rumours that he was in jail in South Africa. Rumours had swept the league that Jordaan, a former professional at Lowerhouse and Rishton, was facing charges of computer fraud. But the left arm spinner warned from Johannesburg today: ``I am really looking for the guy who started the rumour. ``I have got people in England looking for the guy who is spreading the rumours and I am ready to take things further. I cannot defend myself and I am sitting here in shock. ``If people have something against me they can contact me through the Lancashire Evening Telegraph. I am not in prison. I am not eating stale bread and rice water. It is getting ridiculous - I cannot believe it. My county manager has been in touch asking if I am in trouble. ``I did not come back to England because I have got a huge back problem. But I am still a full-time cricketer and am coaching and looking after cricket fields. I was bowler of the year for North West province last year but my back packed up at the end of the season. ``I would like to come back if my back clears up - I have nothing to hide.'' Jordaan also denied rumours that he had taken some equipment from manufacturers Ace. He added: ``I have spoken to them and they are as shocked about it all as I am.''
