After The Villa Book
Back in the days before footballers retired as multi-millionaires, they usually had to get a proper job once their playing days were over. Some stayed in the game, most drifted off the scene and into obscurity.
After the Villais the story of what happened to former idols, their lives once they left Villa Park, and what they are doing now. Peter McParland tells of his brush with a military dictator, Tony Hateley talks of his association with one of Britains best-loved comedians, John Gidman describes how he fell foul of Special branch, while Shaun Teale outlines the pain and glory of life as a non-league manager.
