At the time of the fateful match, the player with the highest profile of the three was probably Peter Swan, who was an England regular; he made his international debut in 1960, and by December 1962 he had won 19 caps.
Tony Kay joined Everton soon after the Ipswich match, and was made captain. Everton went on to win the League title that season. He won his only international cap in 1963, and until the scandal broke he was expecting to be in England's 1966 World Cup squad.
In all, 33 players (from various clubs) were prosecuted over the affair. The ringleader, Jimmy Gauld (who had retired from playing in 1961) was sentenced to four years' imprisonment. Swan and Layne appealed against their life bans, as soon as the FA laws allowed; they both returned to Sheffield Wednesday in 1972. Swan played 15 more games for the Owls, before transferring to Bury; Layne never made it back into the team, and ended his career on loan to Hereford United during the 1972–3 season (Hereford's first season in the Football League).
Tony Kay never returned to professional football after his release from prison.
