Testimonials

"An Icons website brings you closer to your fans – and it´s no hassle." HENRIK LARSSON, SWEDEN AND HELSINGBORGS

"I have worked with the team at Icons for almost eight years now and we have a good working relationship. I have found their services to be of great benefit to the players I represent. Having an official website can boost a player´s profile. It helps to keep them in the public eye, which can be priceless during the transfer period. During their career, if players want to get a message or ´their side of the story´ out into the public domain or directly to their club´s fans, the websites are a very good way of doing this. As an agent, I feel comfortable knowing I can have copy approval on everything written. I find the journalists at Icons to be very professional and trustworthy, which makes for a good partnership." ERIC WALTERS, BASE SOCCER AGENCY LTD

"I’m at a stage in my career where I’d like to get my name out there. Having a site with Official Player Websites has helped raise my profile. It’s also a great way to communicate with my fans and answer their questions. The people are very easy going and it’s no hassle updating the site." MICHAEL TURNER, HULL CITY

"Icons have been running my client Dean Ashton´s personal website since August 2005. They are very professional and they provide a great service for players and agents alike." DARREN BOSSONS, Seven Sport, www.seven-sport.com

"When I signed for Barcelona for £27 million the whole world wanted to interview me. I announced the deal on my website and it meant I didn’t have to speak to anyone else because the press had their story – but on my terms and in my own words." MARC OVERMARS

"When I started my website I’d barely done an interview. Speaking regularly to Icons has given me a lot more confidence in how to conduct myself. That’s really helped me now I’m more in the limelight." JLLOYD SAMUEL , BOLTON WANDERERS
