Former professional footballer Mickey Ambrose was a key player for Chelsea and and is now a regular face on Sky News and major broadcasters as a guest expert. Drawing on years of experience in the game, Mickey is well placed to offer key insight and does so for other channels such as BBC News, Good Morning Britain and also works as an Ambassador for the Royal Family. In this role Mickey has handed out certificates for the Duke of Edinburgh Award and this came about after he finished as runner up in the News of the World’s Children Champion Awards having raised an impressive £2 million for various different charities.
It was sadly injury that cut Mickey’s playing days short but he was keen to stay involved in the sport and so set out to educate children though football. He has also been a consistent fundraiser via celebrity matches and charity events and also spends his time giving motivational talks to a range of audiences. A truly inspiring figure, Mickey played for Charlton as well as Chelsea and often gives his views on medical research into the effects of playing football as well as talking about issues of race in the game. A revered social commentator, Mickey also directs football scenes for television including EastEnders, Footballers Wives and films such as Fever Pitch, and also organises and delivers social inclusion programmes across London. As such he is a great ambassador for the sport, as well as for a number of charities, and is a tireless and dedicated character who has lots to offer on a wide range of topics.
