Fair play to him.
I wonder how many goals he scored in his 700 appearances.

Iggle Piggle · Feb 10, 2025

Nice to see that he has a new Platform to showcase his talents.

Nobby Cybergoat · Feb 10, 2025

Yes, good luck to the lad.

Good to see him keeping his life on track

Seems a waste to me that somebody with that much of an eye for goal, which is the hardest thing to find in football, leaves the industry at the end of his playing career. Presumably he is OK with that though.

It’s an interesting career to choo-choose.

I guess he’s suitably locomotivated for this career change.

Blimey. Can he see out the window, or will they be making a special seat?

Well he'll still be in coaching!

Wiki says 239 goals in 675 appearances :clap2:

Good luck to him. Almost nice in a way to see that not all footballers these days end their careers never having to work again! Bit like the old days when they bought a pub or a corner shop with their testimonial money!
Still, being a pro footballer AND a train driver - every little boy's dream innit!

Some players go off the rails when retiring. He’s literally going on the rails.

A shame he’s not joining Thameslink, as he’d be making many more 700 appearances

(Congratulations to the 3 people (at most) who understood this joke)

He probably got the idea after a chat with Steve Carriage

Mancgull · Feb 10, 2025

Well paid job. Good luck to him.
Glad to say ‘I was there’ when he scored his hat trick at Huddersfield.

Soton Seagull · Feb 10, 2025

Handily having played for us when he did he is already at one with points failures.

His footballing career hit the buffers some time ago.

I remember him absolutely tearing Inter City in the days before they were owned by a sovereign wealth fund.
