    Richard Lee - Coffee

    I am following the ex-goalkeeper on twitter and he is talking about his new profession which he will take up when he retires soon.

    It turns out he is getting involved in coffee and giving away samples here... https://richardlee-organogold.zagzig.co.uk/richardlee

    I have to say I didn't think he would be retired and selling coffee in his early 30s!!

    Does anyone know any interesting stories of what other ex-watford players are doing in retirement?

    Didn't he go on Dragons Den a few years ago trying to start up a business selling caps?

    I've just seen on Hemel Hempstead Remembered on Facebook in an old newspaper cutting about a pub landlord/landlady retiring that the pub (Princess Arms) was taken over by Maurice Cook. Pretty boring really since that's what a lot of ex-footballers did back then!

    Roger Morgan,ex QPR and Spurs is a PE co-ordinator in a primary school in Goffs Oak.A charming man.

    Ralph Coates ex Burnley and Spurs helps run football camps in the Broxbourne area I believe and like Roger worked for the local authorities in sports development.

    When I coached and played at Broxbourne Ralph came to the AELTC to watch us win the Puma Cup- a tennis club FA Cup if you like. I still have a picture somewhere,he 'd lost the comb over by then!

    Not quite related but I can report seeing Ray Clemence in the Anne of Cleves pub,opposite the Broxbourne club circa '87,'88.He was accompanied by two young ladies who I'm sure were his nieces!

    Ray had gnarled feet,visible as he was wearing flip flops.

    Henceforth the pub became known as 'The Anne of Cleavage" to the tennis coaches!

    It looks like a massive scam. Almost no information on the product, just a bunch of keywords like nutrients, organic, natural, immune system. And neutriceutical, which I presume is actually a real word.

    But good luck to him I guess.

    I remember Espen Baardsen retired in his 20s after playing around 40 games or so, just did a wiki check:

    'After retiring, Baardsen went travelling around the world for a year. He is currently a partner and fund manager for a London-based asset management company. He is a frequent guest on the business television network CNBC.'

    Until he retired (hit 73) about a year ago, I knew a millwall-supporting ex-l*ton player. Spoke to him the Monday after we won 6-1 at the den under Malky. Wasn't happy.

    Well, so he claimed. Said he wasn't any good and only played a couple times. He was a site engineer constructing roads.

    Bill Raffell. Google has nowt though.

    George Reilly became a bricklayer and got his ear bitten off for his trouble. Some people's construction standards are higher than others.

    Organo Gold is another one of those spurious multi level marketing schemes. I suppose he needs to fill his day? He should concentrate on one thing and try to be successful at it rather associating himself with something so discreditable.

    There is an American where I work, whose title is "director of knowledge."

    I've never drilled down on the extent of his knowledge, as I just think it is a cool name.
