This unique talent soon led to him becoming a firm favourite on the red carpet and established him as one of the UK’s leading showbiz journalists. Whether disarming Hollywood directors with his passionate knowledge of film, soliciting laughs from comedy greats such as Will Ferrell and Ricky Gervais, or even achieving the near impossible of cracking a smile from Robert De Niro, Jonny was quick to establish himself as the go-to-guy for bold and entertaining celebrity interviews to remember.

In demand commercially, he's additionally presented digital campaigns for the likes of O2, BT, BBC Bitesize, Flybe, Moss Bros and Primark, both in the UK and abroad and has become a trusted live corporate host for numerous business events and awards.

Benzema is always an option as the team progresses to attacking the goal. Ramos again showed nerves of steel to chip the ball into the net from the spot after a VAR review for a handball by defender Marc Bartra, who appeared to have been pushed by visiting forward Borja Mayoral. The Morocco striker also scored a treble two weeks ago. It is understood that with Benzema playing, he is the first line of attack amongst the BBC trio. The two goals made him the top French scorer in La Liga history surpassing Zidane.

  • Liverpool Autographs Keep Kop Flag Flying
    May 07, 2010 12:39 BST Liverpool autographs keep Kop flag flying Sports Idols is treating fans and collectors to eye-popping Liverpool autographs from past successes: the legendary Phil Thompson has lent his signature to several new pieces of Liverpool memorabilia; and all-time player-manager great Kenny Dalglish sees his John Hancock grace the 2009- 2010 end of season stocklist too. Dalglish, whose Liverpool record has more winning numbers on it than a multi-million pound lottery ticket (8 League Championship wins; 2 FA Cups; 3 European Cups; 4 League Cups; and 1 European Super Cup), exemplifies the “Never Walk Alone” spirit of Anfield. A fact that is sure to make Dalglish-signed Liverpool memorabilia number one in these faltering times. It’s not all bad, mind – there are plenty of clubs who aren’t even in Europe. And Sports Idols isn’t neglecting the current squad in their 2010 Liverpool football memorabilia collections: fans will find Liverpool autographs from Fernando Torres; Steven Gerrard; Xabi Alonso; Dirk Kuyt; Ryan Babel; Javier Mascherano; Jamie Carragher; Glen Johnson; and Albert Riera. In some cases (Gerrard, for example), Sports Idols selection of Liverpool memorabilia runs impressively wider: anyone who wants to own a genuine signed Steven Gerrard boot better get their skates on before the season ends and Liverpool’s most famous current hero flies off to South Africa. Which brings us to another little point. Liverpool memorabilia is always attractive (obviously) to Liverpool fans – signed Steven Gerrard memorabilia crosses boundaries with collectors of England souvenirs. This year is the year that England try, once again, to do something memorable in international competition (the triumph, some might say, of hope over experience): should they actually succeed, Liverpool football memorabilia featuring players from the current England squad will hit a new level of value.

  • Football Agents in the Biggest Five European Football Markets an Empirical Research Report
    FOOTBALL AGENTS IN THE BIGGEST FIVE EUROPEAN FOOTBALL MARKETS AN EMPIRICAL RESEARCH REPORT FEBRUARY 2012 Raffaele Poli, CIES Football Observatory, University of Neuchâtel Giambattista Rossi, João Havelange Scholarship, Birkbeck University (London) With the collaboration of Roger Besson, CIES Football Observatory, University of Neuchâtel Football agent portrayed by the Ivorian woodcarver Bienwélé Coulibaly Executive summary While intermediaries acting in the transfers of footballers have existed since almost the birth of the professional game, the profession of agent was not officially recognised until 1991 when FIFA established the first official licensing system. In November 2011, there were 6,082 licensed agents worldwide: 41% of them were domiciled within countries hosting the big five European leagues: England, Spain, Germany, Italy and France. This research project firstly investigates shares in the representation market of players in the five major European championships. By presenting the results of a survey questionnaire, it analyses the socio-demographic profile of licensed football agents in the above mentioned countries, the business structure of their activity, the different kinds of services provided, and the way in which they are performed from a relational point of view (network approach). The analysis of shares highlights that the big five league players’ representation market is highly concentrated: half of the footballers are managed by 83 football agents or agencies. Our study reveals the existence of closed relational networks that clearly favors the concentration of players under the control of few agents. Footballers are not equally distributed between intermediaries. Conversely, dominant actors exist alongside dominated agents. One fifth of the agents having answered to our questionnaire manage the career of half of the players represented on the whole.

  • Birkbeck Sport Business Centre Research Paper Series Economic
    ISSN: 1756-8811 Birkbeck Sport Business Centre Research Paper Series Economic evaluation of Football players through media value Pedro Garcia-del-Barrio, Universitat Internacional de Catalunya Francesc Pujol, Universidad de Navarra Volume 9, Number 3, September 2016 Copyright © Pedro Garcia-del-Barrio and Francesc Pujol 1 Economic evaluation of Football players through media value Pedro Garcia-del-Barrio* ([email protected]) Universitat Internacional de Catalunya Francesc Pujol ([email protected]) Department of Economics, Universidad de Navarra ABSTRACT This paper describes an approach based on media value to evaluate sport talent. We then apply this methodology to estimate the theoretical value of transfer fees for professional football players. First, we compute the individual index of media value and expressed it with respect to the average of the top 2,500 players included in our data set of more than 5,000 individuals. The media value score is the factor by which the number of news of a player multiplies the news articles of the normal (average) player in our sample. Based on individual appraisals, we then work out the media value rank of football teams and leagues. To calculate the theoretical value of football players, we estimate regression models using as dependent variable the transfer fees actually paid. Our analyses allow us to conclude that, in determining the theoretical transfer fee of a player, it is necessary to consider a few variables, among which the media value status plays a major role. Other explanatory variables to explain the transfer fees are: contract duration, economic status of the hiring team, number of years of experience (quadratic form), player's age at the end of the contract, and media value share of the player within his team.
