Career as a football agent

After his retirement at 25, Allardyce became a football agent.

Corruption allegations

On 19 September 2006, Allardyce, and his father Sam, were implicated in a BBC Panorama documentary for taking "bungs" from agents if they signed certain players. Two agents, Teni Yerima and Peter Harrison, were secretly filmed, each separately claiming that they had paid Sam Allardyce through Craig. Sam denies ever taking, or asking for, a bung.[1]

The final report of the Stevens inquiry, published in June 2007, expressed concerns regarding the involvement of Allardyce in a number of transactions. "The inquiry remains concerned at the conflict of interest that it believes existed between Craig Allardyce, his father Sam Allardyce - the then manager at Bolton - and the club itself."[2]

Managerial career

In December 2007 Allardyce took on a joint-managerial role of the West Lancashire Football League club Turton.[3]
