I saw his picture in The Range promoting it the other week and did a double take. It was like a Viz spoof.

Well, good for him, anyway. I was just thinking I wonder what he does now and imagined he would probably be working in a backpackers' hostel in Vietnam. I was incorrect.

Is this what you are referring to? I did not know this.

"After his retirement, Lansbury committed full-time to his organic fertilizer business Grass Gains. He credits his interest in lawns to a COVID lockdown period when he had to mow the lawn himself after a gardener did a disappointing job. The Grass Gains products are being used at various football pitches across Europe, including Genk, AS Monaco and Fulham."

Grass? I thought they just painted the concrete green.

They say footballers live gilded lives but really, they're people, and when life comes at you sometimes you're as weak as a baby starling in a hurricane. Pain is pain, wherever it's felt.

A hairdresser would have been my bet. Sancho, once he's lost all his money will no doubt be the 'Hairdresser to the Stars'.

Imagine the business he would have started if he had to work on a radiator.

Are they buying him because they want / need him - or because Newcastle do ?

Did any of our other players around that era take up a career in horticulture? There was Jota as well, but is there maybe an Alan Hutton Weedkiller or a Scott Hogan watering can?
