My colleague is a friend of his, and apparently he went to Harvard after retiring and now works at Blackstone.

Not your average footballer! He also turned down a place at Cambridge to pursue football.

He denied the Cambridge story when I asked him about it. Glad he's doing well, had a tough time here.

I find this quite an interesting topic - I worked with two people who were very good footballers. One was a St Mirren player under Ferguson but didn't make it and went on to be CEO of a global brewer, and another was in the Liverpool youths with Gerrard etc but got injured, and is also now very senior at the same brewer.

Guessing McKenna is a similar example of how that disappointment when you are operating at that level can be channeled in to something else, rather than maybe disappearing down a bit of drugs and alcohol
