An event that changed football’s rules forever — and destroyed the life of the man who set the revolution in motion.
Jean-Marc Bosman was an average player, yet today his name is known across the entire football world. He spent five years in court fighting his own club and UEFA, risking his career and his future — and in theend, he won. Exactly thirty years ago, a verdict was delivered that opened the door to freedom for players, billions in business for clubs, and transfer fees that skyrocketed into the stratosphere.
But while football earned billions, Bosman lost everything.
His money, his family, his career.
“The Bosman ruling helped everyone but me,” he later said.
In this episode you’ll learn:
why players were under the full control of their clubs even after their contracts expired
how one man managed to shake a system that once seemed unbreakable
how the birth of the Bosman rule led to record transfers, from Davids to Neymar
why this story began as an act of courage — and ended as a personal tragedy
