Former famous footballers doing something a bit different these days

Herr Tubthumper · Oct 9, 2015

A friend of mine in Reading had his BMW collected for a service by none other than Neil Webb. This chap played for England 26 times. Now he's collecting cars for service. That's a bit crap isn't it?

Anyone else come across a former footballer doing something a bit crap these days?

Before doing that he was a Postman.

Not sure he constitutes 'famous'.

Well he's entitled to comment on it, didn't hear what he said but Engurland were exciting to watch during his reign I think most would prefer that then the dross we've had served up since.

Glenn Hoddle would say that's his punishment for being a barsteward in a previous life

Not sure this counts as a bad thing, but Larry Lloyd of Nottingham Forest European cup winning side is a marshall at Calanova Golf in Spain.

It's not as if he played in the big money era. Few ex-footballers have academic qualifications and they can't all be managers/coaches/pundits. It's not as if he's cleaning toilets! If you think it's a little subservient, then I can't see it's much different to what Mullers is doing at the Amex, and nobody would criticize the great man for that.

I'll look out for him, I'm playing there next week

There a former England International who is a host at Wembley who just goes around chatting to the Corporate groups at big matches played at Wembley. Essentially a social hooker who always seems the worse for wear by the time he gets to the end of the day.

And it's not Gazza, although he does seem to have the perfect CV for that job, if the state of the guy currently in the job is anything to go by

Nice course. The 14th is a pig of a par 5 and 15th is short but fun. He is the bloke with the beard who may be the starter or may see you as you go around as he checks you aren't too slow.

Why all the secrecy?

Just name him.

That doesn't count as a bit crap in my book. Most football fans drone on negatively about England or their club side for free; former footballers get to do it to a national audience and get paid for it.
