4 unusual facts about Bosman ruling


Ebbe Skovdahl

Yet with the Bosman ruling, and Aberdeen's substantial debt, which had built up before Skovdahl became manager, it became clear that the system Skovdahl had used with Brøndby could not be maintained at Aberdeen.

RFC Liège

The club is also known today for being 'homeless' and for its refusal to release Jean-Marc Bosman after his contract ran out in 1990, which in turn led to the Bosman ruling, a European Court of Justice decision that caused major changes to the structure of European football.

Ryan Stack

That way he could play as a European on a bosman passport, and thus not count as one of the two non-Europeans that were allowed per team in the Greek League at that time.

Sercan Sararer

After the end of his contract with Fürth on 1 July 2013, Sararer moved to VfB Stuttgart on a free transfer.


Pär Ericsson

In 2008 he spent a short time in Degerfors IF, prior to 2009 season he was close to signing for Örgryte IS; however he instead signed for local rival GAIS as bosman; this upset Carlstad United as they were only receiving about 200,000 SEK while Örgryte IS's bid was claimed to be at least twice as big.
