I once heard that Georges Santos ended up as a trolley collector at a Tesco in Grimsby.

Complete bollocks like but it's the type of rumour that would have been believed before the internet.

I heard Andy Johnson was his boss at said Tesco. It's amazing where you can shove those trolleys !!!

I asked John Garrett about Ford about a year ago. Apparently he and the club have been trying to track him down for years to invite him to various reunions etc but nobody seems to know where he is or what happened to him

Have you ever tried Google?
There is a website I seem to remember dedicated to ex-footballers and 'what are they doing now'.
If memory serves me Tony Battersby is still playing for Boston Town, or is it Spalding?
And Ian Hamilton works in IT!

He drinks in the pub just round the corner from my office, near Ashton Gate. No idea what he's up to these days but don't think it's football related.
