Index page for people who made a career out of football but are primarily not known as players or managers (and may not be associated with any particular club).
Who is the Jules Rimet Trophy named after? Who refereed the 1970 European Cup Final? Who created the North American Soccer League? Who was the first super-agent? Who is the Voice of Football?
Perhaps you will find the answers to some of these questions on this page.
People associated with particular clubs (eg chairmen, owners, directors, coaches and staff) should be indexed at Football Clubs.
There will inevitably be Anglo/Euro bias as this page is built up but people from any country can be added by any contributor.
