Daniel Geey was born in Liverpool in the eighties to his dad (a lawyer) and his mum (a professional tennis player). His path to becoming a sports lawyer had already been set in stone. With a fervent interest in football, he consumed as much news and information as he could about the beautiful game.
After law school and writing an extended dissertation on the Bosman ruling and the reformed FIFA transfer system, he gained an MA in Football Broadcasting Rights, before embarking on his legal career. He advises clients in the sports and football industry on a range of transfer, contract, broadcasting and dispute matters.
Daniel is now a Partner in the Sports Group at Sheridans.
He has a podcast series called The Dan and Omar Show where he (mainly) talks football with Omar Chaudhuri as well as a career and self-development podcast series called Build the Invisible where he talks with high achieving individuals about their career paths.
He is a Bloomsbury and Hachette author having published his football industry book Done Deal, his career book Build the Invisible and co-authoring 50 Ways Into Football. He also co-authored the EU Law Chapter in the seminal football industry textbook Football and the Law.
Daniel has a fashion brand called ((Thirteen.)) where he sell hoodies, caps and t-shirts to raise money for cancer research.
He writes football industry blogs on his website, tweets to his heart’s content and posts football stats on Instagram. He provides comments for a range of media outlets including BBC, ITV, Sky Sports, BT Sport, CNN and Bloomberg.
