ex footballers gone wrong

Shipperley has kept himself surprisingly fit

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Here you go, Chico.

Thanks. He used to be a binman before becoming the best goalkeeper in the country?

Binman, waiter (I'm sure we can all guess where that went wrong) and a hod carrier. He's also a teatotaller. I can't even begin to imagine what he'd look like if he liked a pint.

He was brilliant for a while.

Cocaine will do that. By the time he's 50 he'll look like Lou Beale.

One for the kids there

at sixty he'll look like Pete Beale.

All the girls at school fancied bosnich

By the time he was in his thirties he looked like Ian Beale!

And the moral of the story is:

Get your quotes lined up in order
Or
Cocaine leads to a life on Beale Street.

Which actually doesn't sound too bad.

So, Another moral:
Sometimes they (morals) don't turn out the way you'd think.
Which also works for ex footballers! Wow, complete circle.

He certainly was, he was a brilliant keeper.

That Everton team was excellent. Had we not got banned from Europe, I've a feeling they'd have had a good shout of winning the European Cup.

Always seem to recall Neville southall would be covered in shit and looked like he'd been dragged through a hedge backwards before a ball had even been kicked in anger.
He was a top keeper though for 2 or 3 years , very agile.

[PeterWithesShin]

For probably 4 or 5 years he was as good a keeper as any in the world. Yet this is always my first thought of him whenever I hear his name.

[AV82EC]

I loved t he story about Southall, possibly an urban myth, but at one Everton training session the whole squad were taking pot shots at him for 30 minutes and he wasn't allowed to use his hands. No one scored at all, he saved every shot.

Can you even tell that this person used to be a professional athlete? Clue: the highlight of his career was scoring four goals against the Villa

who even is that? Got no idea.

PWS was right...its fatboy David White

Supposedly it's David White, formerly of Leeds and Man Citeh. Though it looks like Jocky Wilson's mum

George Edwards was our newsagent when my mom and dad moved to Hall Green. As is common in the trade when the paper boys don't turn up the proprietor has to deliver the papers. My mother doorstepped him and told him that it was not appropriate for a Villa legend to so demean himself and she in future would send my dad up to Baldwin's Lane for our Sporting Buff and Birmingham Gazette. (I was in the Kate Karney marching up and down the Berlin Wall frightening the shit out of Nikita Khrushchev).

[Chris Jameson]

I knew a bloke who got locked up for the night for assaulting Neville Southall. He was up in Glasgow for a pre season friendly and had been drinking most of the day and his mates told him Southall wanted a word with him (this was round about the time of his strike threat or whatever it was), the problem was that at the time he was warming up on the pitch and Andy in his befuddled state believed his mates and proceeded to make his way on to the pitch to confront him and ended up shoving him over.

Next day he appeared in court and received a fine and some sort of banning order, he was mortified but when the police were asked how it was that he was able to casually make his way on to the pitch and approach Southall without being stopped, the copper responded that as he was wearing what appeared to be an official Everton tracksuit they assumed he was a member of the coaching staff until they saw him push Mr Southall into the back of the goal!

He wouldn't look out of place with the rest of the goons in Jabba the Hut's palace.

Then there's this jolly chap
