Careers of ex-footballers

[Dirk Gently]

There's the old cliché about ex-footballers retiring to run a pub (plus Mick Channon who trains racehorses) - what other interesting careers are there for ex-footballers?

James Lambert was a sales sit at the desk on the phone all day blokie at Westcoast before leaving to do dimilar recently but elsewhere.

And he really did have the world at his feet.

Do I remember rightly that he had a trial at Monaco with Arsene Wenger and Blackburn were keen? Blew a great career!

Ditto for Martin Hicks, iirc?

And Mick Gooding is an estate agent.

There's a regular column in The Observer covering the careers of ex-pros. This week was Jim Whitley (brother of the slightly more famous Jeff), currently playing/singing the main role in a Nat King Cole musical. Last week featured Steve Guppy who now runs a barn building company.

Closer to home, John Polston is a masseur and personal trainer. Adi Viveash works at the Honda factory and is manager of Cirencester Town.
