Jobs for the Boys

With Hereford United's season not going too well it's quite probable that several of its squad will be looking for new jobs after the end of this campaign.

It was much the same in March 1998 as this article from Talking Bull written by Jock Strop explains:

With the retained list being only a couple of months away I thought what would happen to our players if they were out of a job or had to go part time and get a job outside football. Here are some career possibilities.

ANDY DEBONT: Could become a bouncer at Marilyn's but unfortunately the punters might bounce off him instead.

DAVID NORTON: Would be offered a contract by Leicester Tigers Rugby Club as they may find a use for his high balls.

JAMES McCUE: Would get a job on a fishing trawler because at least he'd be able to put something in a net.

IAN RODGERSON: Could become the new Just for Men model.

TONY AGANA: Could become a doctor as he knows about every injury and ailment going.

JOHN BROUGH: Wouldn't need to work as if Culture Beat release their 1993 hit single Mr Vain he would gain loadsa money in royalties.

IAN FOSTER: Could sell his collection of red and yellow cards to the card company Birthdays which would keep him financially stable for life.

GARRY COOK: Could always go back to his family at the donkey sanctuary.

CHRIS HARGREAVES: Would get a job at a shooting range as at least there he’d be able to have a shot once in a while.

JAMIE PITMAN: Would be offered his old paperboy job back but Pete Boulton would need to be on call in case he fell off his bike again.

All the other players could always be offered a job by Trevor Matthewson at his Fruit 'n' Veg store. Seriously though we need to stay full time next year and have another attempt at winning back our league status.
