SuperSAINT Posted 19 January, 2017 Posted 19 January, 2017 Good luck Monk - Hope all goes well.... Saw this one the other day... Finished Players @FinishedPlayers Neil Heaney is now the CEO of Judicare, a full-service Spanish law firm and a UK legal-services company.
Lighthouse Posted 19 January, 2017 Posted 19 January, 2017 Last I heard Van Gobbel was on the run from Dutch police. No idea how that panned out.
Pass the Dutchie Posted 19 January, 2017 Posted 19 January, 2017 Ken Monkou started a pancake restaurant in the Netherlands after his football career ended in 2000 (after a year at Huddersfield Towns AFC), but sadly that went bankrupt.
Give it to Ron Posted 19 January, 2017 Posted 19 January, 2017 Ken Monkou started a pancake restaurant in the Netherlands after his football career ended in 2000 (after a year at Huddersfield Towns AFC), but sadly that went bankrupt. Ken was a football agent for a while and bought over a few from Holland - he sat behind me one pre-season at Eastleigh where a few of his lads were trialling they were poor!

Just for fun, here's Monkou interviewing Koeman, two months back. It's in Dutch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kycKiWL5cA4

leeham_69 Posted 19 January, 2017 Posted 19 January, 2017 Also makes a good list of suggested baby names? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
doughnutman Posted 19 January, 2017 Posted 19 January, 2017 Good luck Monk with all that. I thought for some reason that Egil had trained in law I think it was Stuart Ripley who went on to become a solicitor
ladysaint Posted 20 January, 2017 Posted 20 January, 2017 Which ex player has been the most successful outside of football?
John Boy Saint Posted 20 January, 2017 Posted 20 January, 2017 I wonder if Jo Tessem went back to being a Postman?
Pass the Dutchie Posted 20 January, 2017 Posted 20 January, 2017 Which ex player has been the most successful outside of football? Of course he's not very much a true ex Saint, but Eljero Elia is currently making millions outside of football as well as still being a succesful player. He owns fashion brand Balr (together with Gregory van der Wiel and Demy de Zeeuw), football news website by433.com, co-owns Footballtemple and just opened a cocktailbar (Callisto) in The Hague.
Hatch Posted 20 January, 2017 Posted 20 January, 2017 Which ex player has been the most successful outside of football? and incidentally, why hasn't he been knighted yet, seeing as they are given out like sweets today to anyone who can run about for a bit.
Convict Colony Posted 20 January, 2017 Posted 20 January, 2017 Last I heard Van Gobbel was on the run from Dutch police. No idea how that panned out. You can read all about it in his autobiography "Uli Uli" and he is youth coach at Feyenoord Book: http://www.veltman-uitgevers.nl/sport/2146-uli-uli-ulrich-van-gobbel-zwijgt-niet-meer-9789492199867.html
SonicBoom Posted 20 January, 2017 Posted 20 January, 2017 With his lack of pace I would think the cops probably caught him fairly quickly.
Give it to Ron Posted 20 January, 2017 Posted 20 January, 2017 I wonder if Jo Tessem went back to being a Postman? I believe he is still playing for Totton & Eling - wasn't he a policeman not postman?
Paul Chuckle Posted 20 January, 2017 Posted 20 January, 2017 With his lack of pace I would think the cops probably caught him fairly quickly. wasn't it stated when we signed him he could run 100 metres in 10 seconds or something like that???
stevegrant Posted 20 January, 2017 Posted 20 January, 2017 and incidentally, why hasn't he been knighted yet, seeing as they are given out like sweets today to anyone who can run about for a bit. I think it basically relies on people nominating him.
