Would you like to compile a Where Are They Now?
book for your club?
We are keen to extend the WATN series and would love to
talk if you like the idea. No technical knowledge is required,
simply an interest in the subject and a willingness to undertake
the research required.
We will do the rest!
Although this will get your name
in print and we are happy to share any profit made, I am
afraid that it probably won't make you rich!
Where
Are They Now is designed for
football fans who are as curious as us to find
out what happened to their favourite footballers
after they retired from playing. The first edition
of our book was published in 1996 and we thought
that it was probably about time that we created
an online version!
How often have you heard someone say
"I wonder what happened to...?"
Not all players end up running pubs or become
TV pundits! It's no secret what Gary Lineker
is up to these days but what about the many
thousands of players who have slipped from public
view? The first edition of "Where Are They
Now?" uncovered some fascinating post
football stories including the former Arsenal
striker who became Iceland's Finance Minister;
Millionaires; Bankrupts; Vicars; Comedians;
Singers; a Phil Collins lookalike... and one
or two publicans! Many ex-footballers also fancy
themselves as pundits, predicting champions
and winners in the various football
betting markets available online.
NEW
- As well as being able to add missing players, you
can now add your own comments and memories to each
player's page.
Which former Premiership
goalscorer switched from
being a star player on the pitch to being
a star player on the green felt of the
poker table?
