What are retired players doing now?

[The Hallucinating Goose]

A couple of days ago I walked past a house with some building work going on and one of the builders was the absolute spitting image of Danny Houghton.

Whether it was him I don't know because I don't know what he is doing post retirement but it got me wondering what other retired players are doing now? So do you know what a retired player is doing now?

I think many of them are holding down retirement sinecures  in rugby union.

Josh Charnley is a qualified bricklayer, he works on the sites in the off-season. 
 

Chris Hill runs his own plumbing business outside of RL.

I have it on good authority that he'd tarmac your drive.

Much-travelled centre Jimmy Kleinhorst retired 2/3rds through the regular season this year at York, to commence training as a driver on Trans-Pennine trains.

Zak Hardaker is apparently telling everyone that Jimmy is his new chauffeur.....

A few years I was sat on the settee on my IPad.  My wife was watching a reality program on UKTV about Paramedics based around Leeds.

All of a sudden I was startled to hear a voice on TV I hadn’t heard for about 45 years.  I looked up and asked the wife to rewind the program a few seconds.  It showed a Paramedic talking to an elderly lady who had fallen.  The voice that I recalled from my teenage years in the late 70’s belonged to an old mate, Shaun Irwin who played for Cas, Oldham and GB.

Big respect to Shaun and all Paramedics.

I'm not sure 3 days of work per year qualifies as a career.

A little 'off topic' but I remember being a star struck teenager delivering the Warrington Mid-Week Guardian on a paper round, when all of a sudden, Bob Jackson jumped out of the bin man truck and asked me for a newspaper. He was playing for Warrington at that time in the early 90's!

Of course, he got a copy of the Guradian.

Also remember Kevin Tamati, after his career picking us up in a taxi after a night in Mr Smiths.

Legends, the both of them

Graham West drove taxis also
