About this listen
In his memoir Barry Silkman tells the incredible story of his career from player to agent with colourful anecdotes of all the characters he encountered along the way, along with some touching, personal recollections of his life so far. Silkman boasts an impressive playing career which lasted 16 years, playing for 11 different clubs including Manchester City. A gifted and skillful player, he was your archetypal Cockney, with Romany gypsy appearance with a shock of black curly hair, tan and socks rolled around his ankles. He always felt he had an eye for a good player and when a friend was without a club, he brokered a deal to get him a 2-year contract—soon all the player's friends started calling Silks, and his life as a football agent began. He went on to become one of the 10 most influential agents in football (Metro 2013) representing Jaap Stam, Yakubu, Patrik Berger, Soucek (West Ham) and organized Zidane to join Newcastle. Silk's talents transferred across to the showbiz industry where he organized artists and tours in a fascinating post-playing career. Some of the names he worked with were Mickie Most, David Gest, Rod Stewart. Kim Wilde, Phil Collins, and Dionne Warwick.

Good Ol Silky
What a great book from a really good bloke, I remember him at Orient in the Frank Clark years and talking to him in the changing room and playing on the reserve v first team games, the club was skint but he was class so it’s lovely to hear the names of people in the game and the stories, he’s always been an entertainer. Good ol Silky 🙏🏻
