This was not the way of Bob Stokoe whose death has robbed the game of a man whose honesty and integrity shone through everything he did.
In another life I was closely involved with him when he agonised over his decision to tell of the time Don Revie offered him cash to throw a game.
One summer night in Newcastle he decided to relive the story he had kept quiet for 15 years, weeping uncontrollably as he did so.
In 1962 Revie and Stokoe were new managers and Leeds were struggling at the bottom of the Second Division. Revie offered Stokoe, then managing Bury, pounds 500 - worth more than pounds 6,500 today - to "take it easy".
When he refused the cash Revie had the brass neck to ask if he could have a word with the players, then earning around pounds 20 a week. Again he was rebuffed.
Stokoe told his chairman, but the incident was hushed up. Eleven years later Stokoe masterminded the biggest upset in FA Cup history when Second Division Sunderland beat Leeds, still managed by Revie, who by then was the most successful manager in Britain.
With tears streaming down his face Bob told me: "This was against all the things I stood for, the honesty, the fairness, the competitiveness I have always loved.
"I could have said, 'Thank you very much, Don', and said nothing. But I think I would have jumped off the Tyne Bridge if I had done something like that."
His decision to break the football mafia's omerta led to others talking about Revie's bribery, an expose that led him to resign the England managership and do a midnight flit to the Middle East.
