NZ Football says it's unhappy with a company not alerting it to a man's criminal background despite knowing about it since March. New Zealand Football says it's deeply disturbed to learn that a convicted paedophile was used to film children learning football skills. A statement from NZ Football confirmed the man was contracted by the production company, 90 Seconds, to help with promotional work to do with kids learning football skills. It's also angry that the company found out about the man's background in March but had not passed this information on to NZ Football and other parties. Last month it was revealed a convicted paedophile worked on the Christchurch-based children's TV show, What Now.
