Raymond Sparkes: UK's Longest Serving Football Agent

  • サマリー

  • Raymond Sparkes is UK’s longest serving football agent, having been in the business since 1991. In running ProStar Management, he represented up to 70 clients at one point, including high-profile clients such as Celtic legends Tommy Burns, John Collins, and Artur Boruc. At one point he represented 8 of 11 players in the Celtic line-up. Further, he brokered the first two Bosman deals in the UK. He recently completed his Master of Sports Directorship. 

    In this candid and in-depth conversation, Raymond talks to Ciaran and Markus about how the industry has changed since he had to put up a 100k bond to become an agent, the delicacy of managing clients and the main reason a career can break down, the all-importance of knowing "what good looks like", the type of players he looks for and why, transitioning to a different generation of players,  the accuracy of Jerry Maguire, and the art of strategic positioning from a network and commercial perspective with a certain David Beckham as an example + plenty of anecdotes!
