At Goldcrest we are very proud of our ever growing books of business for Sports Professionals Insurance. We now have on our books, England footballers and England Rugby players. Premiership footballers insurance is very difficult to get the right cover for. There are plenty of companies out there who will just quote you as a sport professional but not recognise who you are. This is extremely important as you must have the correct cover otherwise you could end up with a hefty bill. For instance a footballer in his car, with a fellow professional i.e. a premiership top 4 player, if this player was injured and the driver was not insured properly, he would probably end up with a law suit against him against loss of earnings for his passenger.
