A1 Sporting Speakers

A1 Sporting Speakers are a thriving sports after dinner speaking and memorabilia company based in the New Forest near Burley.  They are agents for such names as Jimmy Greaves, Sir Geoff Hurst, Frank Bruno, Sir Henry Cooper, Gordon Banks, 8 of the 1966 England World Cup winners, Ossie Ardilles, Matt Le Tissier, Graham Gooch, Robin Smith, Ricky Hatton & many more.
Owned by sports fan Terry Baker and his wife Freda, the other shareholders of the memorabilia company are Jimmy Greaves and Sir Geoff Hurst.

They have exclusive signing contracts with many top names including Pele, Maradona, Sir Geoff Hurst and Jimmy Greaves.

They have been running A1 for the past twelve years.

Terry also presents and promotes theatre shows around the country, primarily with Jimmy Greaves, but with many other sportsmen from time to time.
They have raised several thousand pounds for the Murry Foundation in the last few months after finding out about the charity’s great work when Terry compered a charity fashion show for Adam Murry at the Landmarc in Bournemouth.  Both he and Freda were very impressed with the causes and the charity’s ethics and have become keen supporters.  See their websites www.a1sportingspeakers.co.uk  and www.jimmygreaves.net to find out more about their business.  From next year, 2008, a small percentage from every website sale will go to the Murry Foundation.
