The company is the brainchild of ex-Aston Villa midfielder Ian Taylor, Kevin Gall and Lewis and Mike Tyrie. After two years of development they officially commenced business in May 2017 and have gone from strength to strength, something which Global Director Lewis Tyrie puts down to \u201csheer hard work, determination, and some very strong links within the Pro game\u201d. This has resulted in a premium product which gives aspiring young players the chance to sample the lives of their heroes.<\/p>

Global Football Pro use bases such as the\u00a0prestigious St George\u2019s Park, home of the England national teams, as well as Aston Villa and Derby County\u2019s training grounds. With an exciting new partnership and training venue to be announced very soon, the GFP portfolio will offer the best facilities available in the UK to its clients. The company have recently opened offices in Canada, Australia and America. GFP have attracted customers from all over the globe, including Vancouver Whitecaps Girls U15s who played matches against Sunderland, Aston Villa and Derby County. They also had the opportunity to go on stadium tours at the Etihad and Old Trafford as well as a Q&A session with Man City and England midfielder Jill Scott.<\/p>
