Unusual post-playing careers
Not sure how this nugget has eluded me for 13 years, but I've only just discovered that Matty Appleby became a qualified deep sea diver after he hung up his boots https://web.archive.org/web/20081221143 ... the-plunge. Any other interesting post-playing careers of ex-DFC players anyone knows of?

A number of our players were wearing diving boots when Hornchurch scored their first goal.
