Jean-Marc
Bosman (born October 30, 1964) is a former Belgian footballer,
whose judicial challenge of the football transfer rules led to
the Bosman ruling. This landmark judgement completely changed
the way footballers are employed, allowing professional players
in the European Union to move freely to another club at the end
of their term of contract with their present team.
Bosman himself is mainly remembered by fans for his place in
bringing about this ruling, rather than for his exploits on the
pitch. |
