Where's that thread gone?!

Neil29 started a good post about players' jobs aside from playing for town. I was going to respond with the occupations of various ex town players, but the thread appears to have been removed. Why? Other clubs forums have had similar threads.

I removed it, because it got 61 views, and no-one posted any comments, so I deleted it.

I can re-instate, if people are interested.

I thought it would give the forum members a closer view into the players also.

I'll kick things off then with the occupations of one current town player and one former.

Dave Merris - Accountant
Mark Ford - Train driver

The interviews in the programme sometimes give some info. I seem to recall Chib saying that he was a 'full time footballer;, and I suspect that a number of players, whilst being paid part time, will still regard themselves as being effectively full time, maybe doing some coaching etc. By the way didn't the TV item during our cup run tell us that Beesley is a furniture remover, and Shane Killock is a teacher?

Well, if you can provide the sources. I can put it down.

Shane can't be old enough to be a teacher.

Sources? I didn't realise I was back at school. I've listed their occupations - make what you want of the information.

I was referring to paulstreets comments. Not yours TS.

Haha the time it takes Chibs to look up and pass the ball I guess he would be running into the full time status!

The sourse for Chib was an a feature in the programme this season (I'm sure Peter could verify), the source for Beesley and Shane is the TV (I think Look North), little feature before our Hastings game, showed Paul loading stuff into a firniture van and Shane going into a (primary) classroom, and the kids saying 'Good Morning Mr.Killock'. Blimey, its like being back at Uni: footnotes MUST be provided!

Thanks for that Paul, I will have a look, and try and provide URL's and Weblinks.
