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
David Bentley must be a contender

Eric Gates now runs a pig farm. @FinishedPlayers on Twitter tells you what loads of players are doing now.

I don't know David White, from the description (4 goals against Villa being his career highlight) I thought it might be Micky Quinn. Mind you, I think he got a hat-trick, not 4.

The best player I have ever seen was John Charles and the crock of gold at the end of his rainbow was the tenancy of a pub, in Leeds I think. That in turn led to excessive drinking and the all too familiar sad end. However, that was considered to be a well planned exit from the game in the not so distant past. Players with less generous clubs got a newsagents.Anyone remember Craystons newsagents in Blackwood Road, Streetly. Arsenal and England.
