I got on a bus last weekend and was pleasantly surprised to see Benny Brazil driving it.... got me wondering what our other ex players are up to now, that are no longer involved directly in the game.

Here are a couple for starters

Geebsie Taxi Driver
Callum Milne is a scaffolder
I am sure someone said Pat McGinlay was a hairdresser or owned a hairdressers in the weeg...
Brian Hamilton licks stamps.... or is it Windaes? ;-)

Any more?

Stop it, this makes me almost weep considering Alan Orman is sunning himself in The Bahamas doing Faux Jay Z videos and a fashion line.

This surprises me, because i thought all players had to earn as much as they could during their short football career as they lost the ability to use their arms and legs once they finished playing? :rolleyes:

Spot on. Really grinds my gears when an agent trots out the "short career" line.

Strangely enough I bumped into Alex O'Hara today out seeing customers. He played for Partick Thistle, Rangers, Morton and Hamilton.
He works in Sales for Walter Black the company that makes sauce etc for Chip shops. Told me he scored the Partick goal at Easter Rd in the game when Bestie boy made his home debut! I was at the game but can't remember his goal.We eventually own 2-1

Quite a few over the years. Off the top of my head I can think of Stanton, O'Rourke, Cropley, Marinello, Smith, Turnbull, Ormond, Reilly, McNamara, Callachan, Schaedler.
