""The moment they sign that first professional contract, footballers become a target. They are a cash cow for hangers-on, con artists and opportunists. It's evil, they know what they're doing. I've seen it so many times, I've been taken in myself and I wish I hadn't, it's not right and I just had to do something about it.""
""Going to Manchester United and providing such an important message was reportedly Robson's first port of call - and he subsequently spoke with INEOS chief finance officer Roger Bell.""
Bryan Robson, known as Captain Marvel, played 453 matches for Manchester United from 1981 to 1994, winning multiple titles. Despite his success, he faced financial mismanagement, losing substantial amounts to poor investments. This experience motivated him to establish Xentum Sport with Simon Andrews, focusing on educating footballers about financial security. Robson emphasizes the vulnerability of players to exploitation and aims to provide guidance to prevent financial pitfalls, highlighting the need for awareness in the football community.
