Soccerbid is part of P&R Entertainments Ltd a Sports and Entertainment agency and has been in business for 44 years.
P R Entertainments Ltd have been a management agent for a number of retired sports stars these have included Sir Geoff Hurst, Frank Bruno, Harry Redknapp etc and helps to create a commercial income for a number of sport stars current and retired through the autograph and memorabilia market alongside appearances and endorsements etc. the company provided commercial income for members of the 1966 team from 1995 to present day.
Our company has been involved with the selling of more English caps than any other memorabilia company, we were involved with the selling of the 1st English World Cup winner's medal, the most expensive worn football shirt ever (Geoff Hurst's 1966 shirt) and we regularly work along side former players and their families selling their memorabilia.
Our client base is very loyal and a lot of clients now ask us to source non sport related items. These have included an Eric Clapton owned and played guitar, various world War 2 artifacts, vintage cars, number plates, Keith Moon's original Cartier watch a World War 2 motor cycle and side car, original Nelson signed documents and original Titanic items. It was through the interest in Titanic that we starting meeting regularity with the last survivor from Titanic Millvina Dean she signed 100's of items for us and through her were introduced to relatives of other survivor's families.
We now have an amazing collection of Titanic items to sell. Soccerbid however is happy to deal with customers if they start small with £25 items. Most of the work we now do is tied up with either Frank Bruno and or his charity foundation for which David Davies is Chairman.
Our valuation department is busy each week preparing valuations for the trade sales, retail or insurance. Our documents have been used in courts of law and by insurance companies across the World.
Our fund raising department regularly supplies clients sometimes in association with our celebrities attending an event sometimes just for an auction and we will consider a sale or return basis.
Being a board member of AFTAL was an honour for our principle Dave Davies. He was one of the original people who put together AFTAL and after being invited on the Board acted as vice chairman and then chairman for 5 years.
Trying to juggle AFTAL work and the needs and demands of Sports stars along with trying to buy a WW2 Spitfire for a client is just a normal day's work for David. Time is his biggest enemy but he still races to answer the phone to try and extract another sale from someone.
The agency is constantly busy if you are wishing to hire a celeb including Frank Bruno drop David an email at dave@football1966.com 01702 202036 or 07966369414
