Former famous footballers doing something a bit different these days

[Herr Tubthumper]

Anyone remember Ralph Coates? He played for England and turned up as my Sports and Leisure Secretary when I worked at GEC Avionics in Borehamwood as a student.

Numerous former footballer pundits especially Glenn Hoddle after listening to him drone on negatively while commenting on tonights England game.

God wasn't he a bore?, sent me to sleep long before Engerland scored their second goal zzzzzzzzzzzz

I most certainly do remember Ralph Coates, the winger with the combover, who played for Burnley and Spurs back in the seventies.

I've only just realised that he dies a few years ago.

Can he run for UK PM? Corbyn for 5 years before handing over to Calderon? This has to happen.

more chance Calderon being British prime minster than Corbyn!

Sol Campbell is desperatly trying to become a politician.

i suppose for many its something to do as much as the money.

Ruel Fox runs a tanning shop and massage parlour in Felixstowe.

Barry Venison has a pet shop in Sidcup that specialises in exotic lizards.

Barry Venison WAS an exotic lizard. Probably still is.

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?

I played against him in 2001 or 2002. He was a right fat b#stard, but was clearly a million times better than anyone else there. He was working for a software company back then. Became a postman soon after I believe

Cool. How did you get to play against him?

And he was looking pretty hefty in the photo my friend sent.

It was a 6-a-side tournament between software companies on the Madjeski stadium pitch. Good day out

There's no end to you Tories contempt for the working classes is there..............when they are not working they are lazy, and even when they are working they are in jobs which are a bit crap.

An interesting thread no doubt, shame about your bigotry.

Shame being the operative word.

Absolutely agree. Top bloke. He's absolutely brilliant with my aged grandparents.

Does Barry Lloyd still drive taxis?

Rohan's uncle Eric, (Young), is a solicitor in Slough. That certainly isn't a crap job, (although Slough is).

Apologies to any Slough residents who may be reading this.

Gary Nelson was with the PFA, anyone know what he is doing now. A legendary goal scorer who (in my view) doesn't seem to get mentioned very much.

According to his twitter account, he is Group Head of Marketing at a company called AllClear Travel and Chairman of Leisure Link Golf

We had the pleasure of meeting him at a dinner a couple of years back, I'm sure he said he was doing some chauffeuring work, some taxi work and some lorry driving.
