About Us

supplying the best talent for your event

A1 Sporting Speakers have been representing and booking the biggest stars in sport for over 20 years. As well as supplying the best talent for your event we also promote events of our own. We offer a wide choice of celebrity speakers for speaking engagements, television & media, corporate events & public appearances. A1 Sporting Speakers was first established in 1995 when Terry and Freda Baker started to promote theatre shows with sports legends in their local area of Bournemouth, Dorset. The company grew and resulted in Terry booking his all time footballing hero, probably the greatest goalscorers in footballing history, Jimmy Greaves. Early shows were with the much missed English football great Alan Ball, who along with Jimmy and a couple of others was undoubtedly the best after dinner speaker ever on the circuit. Nobby Stiles, the late Peter Osgood and Tommy Docherty were also regulars. It was all a bit of a dream for Terry in those days, George Best and Denis Law and then the 1966 England team, all heroes of his became friends and colleagues to both Terry and Freda.
