Where aRe THey Now books

 

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!

FIRST EDITION FOOTBALL STORIES

 

Tommy Smith Former Liverpool Defender

 

Is there life after football?

 

Here is a small selection of the stories that proved that there definitely is a very interesting life after football for many players. (Please bear in mind that these stories are from the first edition and may well be out of date now!)

 

David Harvey

HARVEY, David. Leeds, Bradford C. (1965-1984) After leaving the game, Harvey firstly ran a pub, then worked delivering fruit and veg to the hotels of Harrogate. Became player/manager at Whitby in 1985 and worked as a postman in Knaresborough, Yorkshire. However, he has now started a new life in the Orkney Islands, where he has purchased a large old farmhouse and several animals and works as a postman again.

 

HARRIS, Ron. Chelsea, Brentford. (1961-1983) Ron brought Bramhill golf course in Wiltshire for £400,000 and is reputed to have sold it in 1989 for £2 million to golf professional Roger Mace and ex-Doncaster Rovers and Aldershot Goalkeeper - Glen Johnson. Now owns a holiday chalet and fishing complex in a picturesque setting in a village near Warminster, Wiltshire.

 

HOSKIN, Ashley. Burnley (1965-1988). Played for Burnley and Accrington Stanley. Phil Collins named a 'B' side on one of his singles 'Don't Call Me Ashley' - because of their similarity in looks!

 

ICKE, David. Coventry, Hereford (1969-1972). David became a journalist in Leicester, going on to become a household name as a BBC television sports presenter. Now lives in relative seclusion on the Isle of Wight and unfortunately has become better known for his unconventional beliefs which regularly hit the headlines and is now a successful After Dinner Speaker.

 

MADELEY, Paul. Leeds (1963-1980) Capped by England, Paul had an illustrious career, appearing over 500 times in a Leeds shirt and won almost honour both domestically and in Europe. He and his brothers sold their chain of 26 D.I.Y stores for £27 million in 1987. In 1992 he successfully underwent an operation to remove a brain tumour. Now acts as a property consultant, still based in Yorkshire.

 

WILLIAMS, Charlie. Doncaster. (1949-1958). 'Hello, me old flower!' The unmistakable words of Charlie Williams, one of Britain's best loved comedians. Charlie never intended to become a comedian. He had his sights firmly set on a career in professional football. Indeed, he played for Doncaster rovers for twelve years. But he enjoyed singing, particularly Nat King Cole - he sang in the dressing room, in the showers, in the coach on the way home or to a game... and told funny stories too. Encouraged by his mates, he started entertaining in the Working Mens Clubs in Yorkshire on Saturday evenings - and the rest as they say... is history!
