Football Insurance For Non Professionals

I am sure most football fans will remember the infamous Roy Keane crippling tackle on Alf Inge Haaland in in April 2001 It was intended to be a revenge tackle for a tackle that Haaland had made on Keane 4 years earlier, but unfortunately it ended Haalands footballing career and he only ever played 40 minutes of football after that.

Because Haaland was a professional football, his football insurance covered him for this and he was able to eventually start another successful career in property management. For those that are not professionals in their chosen sport, adequate sports cover insurance is often over-looked and lot's of people have found themselves in the unfortunate situation whereby they are injured whilst participating in their sport and realise that they are not covered 'financially' when they are unable to work.

So don't get caught out, if you participate in amateur sports, ensure you have the right cover should the worst occur.
