Jean-Marc Bosman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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 known for his place in bringing about this ruling, rather than for his exploits on the pitch.
