  Bear Faced Talent was the natural development after Play With A Legend went well beyond its original remit of arranging Events and connecting fans with their heroes. Bear Faced Talent exclusively looks after media and commercial opportunities for Micah Richards, Jamie O’Hara, Sue Smith, Mark Schwarzer, Martin Keown and Jose Enrique and works with dozens of other former footballers for a range of commercial and media opportunities. We place our talent with a range of broadcasters and brands based upon our commitment to maximising their post football career development. All of our work is underpinned by detailed research and industry knowledge which then moves to negotiation and finally the implementation stage.
