(live-PR.com) - John’s professional career spanning 18 years began with a football apprenticeship at Liverpool FC youth. During his time there, he admitted that he received more knocks than praise, which he believes gave him the vision and drive to succeed in his sporting vocation.


To the amazement of the Obelisk staff, the football star produced his original Liverpool FC contract stating the small sum given to players at that time.

After his apprenticeship, John moved to Aston Villa where he spent his longest term of 8 years and where he was first selected by England earning his first cap, playing a big role in a match against Luxembourg in 1977.

His next big transfer came in 1981 to the much-revered Manchester United taking them to FA cup victory in 85’against Everton. Gidman left the club the following year to play for rivals Manchester City, followed by Stoke City and Darlington respectively.

During his talk, John commented that he was astounded by the quality and professionalism of both the Obelisk website and the people behind the company. John remarked that the level of expertise emanates through the research provided to Obelisk’s current and prospective clients.

He added that he believed that Obelisk was indeed a market leader in the property investment market. Select back office and consulting staff had the pleasure of being presented with high achievement and outstanding contribution awards, presented personally by Mr Gidman.
