Ambassadors
The Sportingbet Sporting Ambassador Programme is designed to involve our customers and the sporting community more in our sports coverage and particularly, our sponsorship campaigns. Our ambassadors are legends in their field with a natural rapport with fans and punters alike. They represent Sportingbet at public events and perform ceremonial duties such as award presentations.

The former Leeds captain is fondly remembered at Elland Road for scoring a goal against AC Milan at the San Siro in Leeds' 2000/01 Champions League campaign. He was capped six times for his native Scotland and also played in the Premier League for Liverpool, Blackburn and Stoke City.
Steve Bull MBE
The Wolves legend scored over 300 goals in all competitions for the Midlands club and achieved the rare feat of ebing selected for England while playing in the Third Division. He played 13 games in all for his country yet only played one game in the top-flight of English football, before he joined Wolverhampton Wanderers.
