Past players - what are they doing now?

Looking at the thread Mase did about the 17 years anniversary since that game with Gilligham, I was thinking where are right now some of our players. What are they doing?

I will start. Georgi Kinkladze is somewhat of a agent. I am saying somewhat because from what I understood, he is working with football agents, but not as a scout.

Glauber Berti has a night club in Rio Preto and plays for a amateur football team in Brazil. What is Richard Edghill doing? Or Danny Allsopp?

Edghill is working at the club, coaching kids and doing ambassadorial type stuff on matchdays.

Jim Whitley is a painter, after serving time for armed robbery. Jeff was a cokehead, no idea if he still is

Edghill also posts semi-regularly on a City fans' Facebook page. I've noticed a few 'likes' by him on there, and I'm pretty sure it's a kosher account.

Lee Crooks went into the armed forces, Andy Morrison is a Manager in Wales & I think Tony Vaughan is a Car Salesman in Ipswich but that could have been a wacky dream I had.

To be fair, Jim Whitley's robbery conviction was before he broke into the City first team. Jeff tours the UK as Sammy Davis Jr in a Rat Pack tribute act.

I've seen Richard Edghill having a kickabout with his mates a few times at the odd indoor football centre. (I saw Paul Scholes at one such place the other week as well, as it happens, but wasn't arsed.)

Last I heard was he had a waste recycling business in Eccles that went into liquidation at the beginning of last year.

Talking of Scholes I was parked 2 cars away from him at the Royal Oldham Hospital about 12 months ago when I was visiting my Mum in Hospital.

To be fair, you don't hear of many professional footballers going on to better things after retirement...
