Have you had any thoughts on what may be next, though?
I am kind of sure. It’ll be away from football, but in the future who knows? In one year’s time, I might not be able to sleep, might not fancy a beer in the evening and not be feeling hungry, so what am I missing? Is it football? If it is, I might need to get back into it. If not, I have a list like this [stretches out hands] of things to do, a lot of things to work on, so I am quite looking forward to my time out of football. I will have a rest, but I was a professional joiner before I got into football, so I might go back to my roots – construction work, property work, furnishing and so on. I am very interested in a lot of things away from football, so I am looking forward to some time off.
