Sports.com Board. His astonishing success on and off the pitch,
both in the UK and US, has been remarkable. Marc has been advising
us on exciting football projects in the UK and US. I am now looking
forward to him leading the charge on these projects. There are a
number of great opportunities in the market at the moment,
particularly with the increased interest in ownership of football
assets by US investors and celebrity interest in taking advantage
of social and other media opportunities."

added:
"As former professional football players, we are poised to form
a formidable attacking team. Marc's addition to our board is a
testament to our commitment to excellence and innovation in the
