CHARLIE GEORGE

In 1996 A1 Sporting Speakers became as far as we know , the first company in the UK to pay footballers and boxers for their autographs. Our reasoning was that if we were to make money by getting items signed and selling them ( mainly at auctions at sportsmans dinners in the early days) , it felt fair to give the sportsmen a share of any money to be made. Our two big allies and to some extent mentors were firstly Jimmy Greaves and latterly Sir Geoff Hurst. Our md Terry Baker has been their agents for a very long time and particularly the late great Jimmy Greaves explained that the big stars of the 60’s were often living very ordinary lives in no way resembling the modern sportsmen of today. It was usually £20 per week in the 60s. Since those days we have paid millions of pounds over a thirty year period to sportsmen around the world including all the greats. Pele, Best , 1966 winners, Maradona , both Ronaldos and many 100’s more. We have donated over £2,000,000 to various great causes in the last ten years and we estimate over £20,000,000 has been raised by people selling our items at fundraisers around the World.
Subsequently every item we sell has either been signed in our presence or in the presence of trusted partner companies insuring every autograph we sell is authentic and hand-signed.
