Just imagine waiting on the platform at Falmer after a game and the station announcer come on the speaker

"And now, driving the delayed 17:38 to Seaford, number 19, Jake Robinson"

It’s sad to see that after a wonderful career in football he’s come off the rails and hit the buffers. But he’s signalled his intent and is now back on track.

This signals a new start for him. I hope it’s the platform he needs to push on.

Variation on @Springal -" He will strike more now than he did for the Albion".

I remember Adam El-Abd did that documentary when with us saying he was worried about when he retired and not having enough money etc I wonder what he’s up to

He'd be excellent as a guard, wouldn't take no crap off the passengers.

Bit concerned for him as forwards usually depend on reliable service.

But I'm probably worrying unduly and there's nothing to be afreight of.

Found this online. Comparing a train driver salary to for example first team coaches at league one level, this seems like a very good career move, and better job security as well? Smart lad. "fare" play to him...

Hope he wasn’t railroaded into making a decision.

Can he run his own train through Falmer on match days (and get Southern to put more on)?
