  • Gavin Peacock has become a priest.

    Pretty random piece I came across.

    All the more odd as I thought he was a pundit, a very decent one too.

    Made me wonder if anyone else has heard of any of our players doing strange jobs away from football?

    Someone previously told me Paul Parker is a sunbed delivery / repair man

    Here is the Gavin Peacock write up with full link added.

    A retired professional footballer's journey to the television studio is a well-trodden path and it's one that Gavin Peacock at first set off down.
    After a 17-year career with the likes of QPR, Chelsea and Newcastle, he began to work for the BBC on its football output. But he readily admits he felt it "was never going to be forever".
    A Christian since the age of 18, it was in 2006 he said he "began to sense a call" that he should take up ministry full time.
    He is now a pastor at Calvary Grace Church in Calgary, Canada.
    "A lot of people thought I was crazy," the 49-year-old admits.
    "People would say 'why do you want to give that [my football career] up?' But I gave it up for something better.
    "It has been the hardest eight-and-a-half years of my life, life in pastoral ministry is difficult - you are dealing with people's hearts, life and death, and it tests your levels of compassion - but it is the greatest privilege."

              Personally, As a QPR, and in life in general, I find it quite natural to believe in something larger than life...

                      Fu€K telling him if you weren't happy when he holds the mirror round the back of your head at the end.
                      You'd end up with a black eye and one ear.

                          I'm sure Ian Dawes was / is a postman. Used to see him around Hammersmith a few years back.

                          Could of sworn it was him.
