JEAN MARC BOSMAN 

Belgian Footballer taking UEFA to court

Jean-Marc Bosman recognises that his best footballing days are behind him.
Neat, quietly spoken, he once captained the Belgium youth team and played six times for Belgian B.
Now, at 30, the unassuming Bosman willingly admits he was not one of Belgium's great players.  But he is about to achieve a fame off the field which he was never able to find on it.
In the next six weeks, Bosman will go to the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg.  He will claim damages of £300,000 against the Belgian FA, UEFA and RC Liege for restraint of trade, claiming that they 'prejudiced his right to free circulation as a worker within the European Community.'
This is a case which, if he wins, could change the face of the game here and on the Continent for ever.

Ο άνθρωπος που άλλαξε την ιστορία του ποδοσφαίρου καταδικάστηκε σε ένα χρόνο φυλάκιση, καθώς επιτέθηκε στη σύντροφό του και την κόρη της.

Το 1995 ο Βέλγος μέσος Ζαν Μαρκ Μποσμάν της Λιρς κέρδισε μία δίκη που άλλαξε τα πάντα στο ποδόσφαιρο, κι έδωσε τη δυνατότητα στους συναδέλφους του ποδοσφαιριστές να μπορούν να πάρουν μεταγραφή σε όποιο σύλλογο επιθυμούν μόλις λήξει το συμβόλαιο τους.

Είκοσι χρόνια μετά ο 48άχρονος άνδρας αντιμετωπίζει πολλά προσωπικά προβλήματα, ενώ τον Δεκέμβριο του 2011 επιτέθηκε στην, τότε, σύντροφο του και την κόρη της.

Το δικαστήριο αντί να τον καταδικάσει σε φυλάκιση του έδωσε τη δυνατότητα να κόψει της κακές συνήθειες (ποτό, ναρκωτικά), όμως ο ίδιος απέτυχε να τα καταφέρει και πλέον θα οδηγηθεί πίσω από τα σίδερα.

Μάλιστα εκτός από την ποινή του ενός έτους του επιβλήθηκε και πρόστιμο 275 ευρώ...
