"I can’t recommend Gary Charles and Tornado Sports Management highly enough.

I’ve known Gary as a friend and teammate for 30 years and he is an honest, humble fantastic person to guide players through all aspects of their careers.

He has come through every experience possible in the professional game needed to advise players on their futures.

I would have no hesitation in letting Gary advise one of my own children through the trials and tribulations of professional football and would have 100%

trust in him.’’
