Exclusive interviews with retired professionals

We work with retired footballers and athletes across every level of the game. If you cover sport, lifestyle or betting and want first access to interview opportunities, register your details below.

Why journalists work with us

We work with a roster of retired professional footballers and athletes from the Football League through to the Premier League and international level. Interviews come fully produced: briefed, transcribed and fact-checked. You get clean, citable quotes and analysis ready to publish, not a rough transcript to rewrite.

First access, not a press release

We pitch interview opportunities directly to journalists on our database before they go anywhere else. You're not competing with a mass press release - you get a heads-up when a player or story is available that fits your work.

Players you can actually quote

Every player we work with has a verifiable playing career and is fully briefed before the interview. No PRs blocking questions, no vague non-answers. We produce interviews journalists can publish with confidence.

Ready-to-use material

Interviews come with a full transcript, with key quotes pulled out, alongside any context you'd need.

Matched to your patch

We don't send every journalist everything. Once you register, we match players and stories to your beat - whether that's a specific club, a particular sport, or a region you cover. You only hear from us when it's relevant.

No obligation, ever

Being on our database doesn't commit you to anything. When an opportunity fits, we'll reach out. If it's not right for you, just say so. We'd rather send you ten relevant stories than fifty irrelevant ones.

Join our journalist database

Tell us what you cover and what you're looking for. We'll be in touch when we have a story that fits.

We'll never share your details. We only get in touch when we have something relevant for you.

How it works

What happens after you register

1

We add you to our database

Your beat, publication and interests are noted so we only contact you with relevant opportunities - no spray-and-pray pitching.

2

We send you a pitch when it fits

When we have a player interview that matches your pitch, we'll send you the story with key quotes, a full transcript and any supporting material you need.

3

You decide whether to run it

No pressure, no follow-up calls asking why you haven't published yet. If it works for your audience, great. If not, we'll find a better fit next time.

4

The relationship builds over time

The better we understand your publication and what works for your readers, the better the stories we'll bring you. Most of our best journalist relationships are ongoing.
