CHAPTER 1

The Licence


When Dave Nightingale said that an agent didn't need a licence he was talking about more innocent times. Nowadays several major sports in this country, throughout Europe and in the States, have a licensing system. Until March 2001, certainly as far as football was concerned, getting a licence didn't mean being qualified. Basically, provided you had enough money to post the security bond, hadn't murdered anybody (or at least nobody of any note) or were able to con your way through the easiest of interviews, then the Football Association (FA) would grant you a licence. Whether that was a domestic licence (enabling you solely to negotiate transfers in England) or a full FIFA licence (permitting you to deal abroad), merely depended upon the amount of the bond.

From 1 March 2001, the Players' Agents' Regulations came into force for people who want to represent footballers.

As far as the USA is concerned my good friend Mark Levinstein, a DC-based sports lawyer who worked with me in jointly representing the US National Soccer team back in 1994 and still represents them in their negotiations with the USSF (United States Soccer Federation) has written a couple of chapters for this edition which contains the basic information.
