  Bosman ruling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In football (soccer), the Bosman ruling is one that allows professional football players in the European Union to move freely to another club at the end of their term of contract with their present team.
The Bosman ruling can be compared to the Curt Flood case in baseball, which led to the elimination of the reserve clause and the advent of free agency.
The Bosman ruling also prohibited domestic football leagues in EU member states, and also UEFA, from imposing quotas on foreign players to the extent that they discriminated against nationals of EU states.

 EUROPA - Sport- Sport and ... - Internal market, Bosman case
Mr Bosman sought a declaration from the national court that the transfer rules and nationality clauses were not applicable to him on the grounds that they were incompatible with both the Treaty of Rome rules on competition and the free movement of workers.
The Commission's letter informed the two organizations that in the light of the Court's ruling in the Bosman case, their international transfer system (notified to the Commission on 28 July 1995) could not be granted exemption under Article 85(3) of the EC Treaty and Article 53(1) of the EEA Agreement.
The Bosman decision affects players who are no longer under contract, and who are transferred from a club in one Member State of the EU or EEA to a club in another of one of the 18 countries on or after the 15th December 1995.

Bosman knows the legal ruling he won 10 years ago ensures his name will never be forgotten - its ubiquity could even mean an entry in the dictionary - but it is not the way he wants to be remembered.
The ruling by the European Court of Justice, in December 1995, that Bosman's former club RFC Liege should have allowed his transfer when he was out of contract was not just a victory for the Belgian midfielder.
Bosman has a fame he claims he does not want, through winning a victory he was so determined to achieve.

Bosman protested against this decision and he filed suit against FC Liege, the Belgian football authorities, and the European football authorities, arguing that the football regulations on payment of transfer fees stopped EU citizens from having the human right of freedom of movement in employment.
The effects of bosman are also blamed for rising wages in the Football League, especially among clubs relegated from the FA Premier League.

 Famous Belgians - Jean-Marc Bosman
In the case of Bosman, the headlines invariably spelled bad news for the football community at large, although of course many individuals, especially players nearing the end of their contract, were not unhappy.
The ruling of the European Court of Justice in December 1995 upheld the case brought by Jean-Marc Bosman against the European football authorities as a result of his failed transfer from a Belgian to a French club in 1990.
In the many months while the storm-clouds of the Bosman ruling had been gathering on the horizon, FIFA had played a deliberately low-key role, as the issue was one which essentially affected only the 18 national associations of the member states of the EU.

Bosman is not such a big concern for the bigger clubs but it certainly is for the medium sized ones.
The Bosman ruling has been good for the top players but whether it has been as good for the average player remains to be analysed by others.
Further amendments to the rule made in 2000 – dubbed Bosman II at the time – seem to have quelled any immediate further challenge to the transfer system but a new threat to football in its current form could be posed by a Moroccan by the name of Abdelmajid Oulmers.

 BBC SPORT | Football | 10 years since Bosman
The desire of Jean-Marc Bosman to move from Club de Liege to Dunkerque inadvertently triggered a change in the law that altered the face of football forever.
He started his case in 1990 when he was 25 and in the prime of his career, was left in limbo for five years and then, one year after he won, he had to leave third division Vise because he said he could not make a living out of it.
Bosman's lawyer Luc Misson says: "He gave his career to a court case to serve a cause, but he sees that the transfer fees are still there, quotas on home-grown players are making a comeback and the rich clubs are richer and the poor ones are poorer."

Bosman himself, a master of this quick-fire medium, wrote two pamphlets on the murderess Daisy de Melker and hawked them personally outside the courthouse while she was on trial.
Not that Bosman didn’t have a complicated sex life (at one point, for instance, he lived with both his second and third wives), but this piece was scurrilous nonsense that would have made even the sometime flmailer Bosman blush.
Bosman published only three books in his lifetime: the bestselling stories of Mafeking Road, the novel Jacaranda in the Night (“sordidness almost unrelieved”, said the Sunday Times) and Cold Stone Jug, a fictionalisation of his prison experiences (sold, with Bosman’s collusion, as pure non-fiction).

 Reflections on Great Literature: Herman Charles Bosman
Like O.Henry, Bosman's storytelling secret is exactly that which Oom Schalk Lourens reveals to us: he knows what to tell us and when, and most importantly he knows what not to tell us.
This of course must be the case if Bosman is to be at all authentic in his depiction of the Transvaal of the time, just as the attitudes of whites towards American Indians and Mexicans would be a necessary and honest ingredient in any series of Old West tales.
Bosman can be read for pleasure as much as for anything else, by those of any race; but he is enlightening to read for the access he provides to the Afrikaners-- a much criticized people of late, but an adventurous and fascinating people nevertheless.

In 1996, after much lobbying by Bosman himself, the European Court of Justice ruled that out-of-contract players could move between clubs without a transfer fee and abolished the quota system restricting the number of foreign players a team could field.
Bosman's success was based on 1957's Treaty of Rome which sought to guarantee European citizens' right to 'freedom of movement' within the EU.
The epoch-making ruling paved the way for the mass influx of foreign 'stars' and the trend for players to wait out their contracts, move for free and pocket huge joining fees which in the past went to the selling club as a transfer fees.

 HERMAN CHARLES BOSMAN LITERARY SOCIETY
Not a few visitors to the Groot Marico find their way here in the first place as a result of the attraction of that powerful spell woven by the author of Mafeking Road and Jurie Steyn's Post Office.
South African poet and author Lionel Abrahams observes that "Bosman had invoked in me, along with attitudes to the country as a whole, a special local patriotism".
In an area as rich in historical events as to earn itself a right to the appellation of "crucible", it is significant but perhaps not so unexpected that the Marico bosveld should first and foremost, be associated with Bosman-it is after all the poet, not the historian, who deals in the eternal verities.
