2. Motivation
Nothing inspires action like hearing from someone who’s achieved at the highest level. Footballers deliver motivational keynotes that fire people up - whether you want to kickstart a sales team, energise your leaders, or boost morale.
Andy Cole is an excellent choice for a motivational speaker. The former striker won nine trophies while playing with Manchester United, including five Premier League titles and, in 1999, won the FA Cup, the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League. With a British Record Transfer fee for his move from Newcastle United to Manchester United, Andy has unique insights from the world of elite football.
3. Business Insights
From leadership and teamwork to resilience and handling pressure, football speakers draw direct parallels between the pitch and the boardroom. They’ve lived high-performance culture and can teach it in a way that’s entertaining and relatable.
Regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, Kenny Dalglish has had an incredibly successful career as a manager, leading the Blackburn Rovers from the Second Division to win the Premier League in 1995. With unparalleled insights into leadership, peak performance and teamwork, Kenny is a the perfect addition for your next corporate event.

Behind every success story is a tale of setbacks, injuries, defeats, and comebacks. Football speakers often share deeply personal insights into mental strength, discipline, and staying focused - themes that resonate across all industries.
One football speaker who knows what it takes to reach the top, overcoming setbacks and injury, is legendary Liverpool defender, Jamie Carragher.
