It's mad that Big Nev and Mountfield are PE teachers and that Gary Stevens is a physio.

It set me thinking of who has had the most extraordinary second career after wearing the blue shirt.

The best I could come up with was that Ray Wilson went on the be an undertaker!

Its a travesty that such fantastic players end up being P.E teachers. I mean don't get me wrong, i'm sure they love it, and its great to give something back to the community. But think of the 'no one' footballers these days who are on 40+k a week, will never do anything, and will be millionaires before they are 25....

A big salute to the boys. True gentlemen and legends.

Fact is in the eighties top footballers were minor celebrities. Now it's the other way round

Well just because they're millionaires doesnt mean they can't or won't do something after football. Many people can't just sit around and blow their £££ away, no matter how much they have. Why do you think people like Branson, Trump, those fellas of Dragons' Den are where they are? Personally I think it's cool that these guys are doing something like teaching or coaching, whether its by choice or necessity.

Him and Lineker are the exceptions. Not many youngsters would guess they were former blues though
