What if they hadn't become footballers?
Comments (17)
Growing up, many of us dreamed of playing for Everton. Scoring goals in FA Cup finals... etc. But what about those whose childhood dreams were fulfilled and did manage to become professional footballers. I would like to ask what if they hadn't become footballers?
Where would they be and what would they be doing? Given the recent TW articles about past players and the antics of a former player, I would like to open the debate to suggestions. There are no restrictions on the player or the suggestion, unless MK says there has to be a relevance to Everton. Brendan McGlouglan read in his mum's catholic newsletter that Wayne Rooney would have become a priest if not a footballer, and was disturbed by the idea.
Pat van den Hauwe would have made a good assassin.
Andy Gray could have made it as a football pundit.
Neville Southall looks like a miner, so could have been one.
Yakubu - bouncer in town.
Phil Neville looks like a teacher. Don't know why?
Further suggestions below. But beware ? the red tops are watching...

Mike Walker, manager of Liverpool?
Would it be too obvious to say Rafa as a Fat Spanish Waiter?
Torres, bra and suspenders model for M&S, or Carragher's blow up doll.
Peter Beardsley and Rooney, panto Ugly sisters.
Kevin Sheedy could have painted the sistine chapel, using a brush held in his left foot.
