The only professional footballer I have met is Sir Trevor Brooking who ran a freight forwarding company for a while and came to see me on business . He was a thoroughly nice chap and we spent five minutes on business and an hour just talking football.... I still have his business card somewhere.
A lot of ex players act as ambassadors for their clubs at hospitality events, a lot used to end up running pubs.
I vaguely remember Colin Bell , around the same era as Francis Lee IIRC.
