Bosman at 25

[Deleted]

25 years ago this week, Jean-Marc Bosman successfully won a consolidated court case against The Belgian FA, his club Liege and UEFA. The outcome of this case was to allow all EU footballers the right to a free transfer at the end of contract.

BBC discuss some of the best Bosman moves

Who has proven to be the "best" Bosman transfer since inception? Who has been the best Boro free transfer? Have we lost anyone of note on a free?

Off the top of my head, Sol Campbell, Spurs to Arsenal was a big one.

Did Viduka leave to Newcastle on a free?

2004/05 was seemingly the zenith of our Bosman experiences.
- Hasselbaink
- Zenden
- Mendieta
- Reizeger
- Parlour

All in on frees

I was surprised that Hignett left on a Bosman, especially considering he wasn't that old (28).
