The Clive Woods thread got me thinking. Aside from those who stayed in the game in one role or another (pundits, presenters, coaches etc), there've been a lot of players passing through Portman Road over the years and most, I imagine, ended up in real jobs. I once met an ex-Swindon keeper from the sixties and asked him how it felt to be a hero to thousands and then a nobody just a year later. He laughed and said, 'it was only bloody Swindon...'.
On a Town note, I can only remember three off the top of my head: Larry Carberry (Class of '62) was a stevedore on the docks, Pat Sharkey (Class of... well, mid-70s reserves mostly) became a teacher and, as noted recently, Nicky Forster is a motivational speaker/life coach.
Bum, make that five: Paul Cooper's golf things and Eric Gates' farm.
Anyone got any more?
And apologies if this has been done before: I'm new round these parts. [Post edited 23 Aug 2021 21:49]

Mick Stockwell did my kitchen a couple of years ago - a really good job, and he was great at advising at every step of the way. The labour charge might have been a wee bit higher than it could have been, as I spent a heck of a lot of time distracting him by talking about football, of course.
Very highly recommended. |  | | |

I hope his ability to look across the line and not go too soon has improved….. | | | |

I was about to mention Romeo Zondervan, but that was when he was still a player, not after. |  | | |

It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub. |

Really? I thought he was a scout.
I bumped into Tommy Parkin in The Fat Cat. Tommy was a Uefa cup medal winner.
He was a painter and decorator
I would have assumed Steve McCall would have earned enough for long enough to be happily retired with a decent pension [Post edited 23 Aug 2021 22:35]

Very late 80s, maybe year 90 I'm driving daily to a small, luxury homes construction site, north of Ipswich. A friends teenage son was coming along to give me some help during school holiday, when needed. Topic of conversation always seem to lead to Towns 'glory days' a decade or so earlier and the 'lad' mentioning going to the home games with his father and his favourite player being Trevor Wymark. Within a few days of him mentioning that, you can imagine our disbelief when we spotted Wymark filling a kettle from a standpipe for the painters who 'he' was helping out during a break from his summer coaching schools! | | | |

When Mathie does his radio work how much do you think Radio Suffolk pay him (and Stewart and Mills)? Petrol money, expenses and a few quid more? |  |

Butch only really backed the insurance brokers as an investment. Probably helped locally to use his name. It was was also setup and running while still playing. [Post edited 24 Aug 2021 7:48]
