It might have been said, but for all you Rugby fans out there, there's a chance next time (if you are unlucky enough) you fly Ryan Air, Tony Underwood might be one of your pilots!

Warren Aspinall (sp) used to work at Tesco CDC in southampton, according to the Pompey boys he was a big deal (2nd biggest penor I've ever met).

And he got sacked for stealing Ipods.

Not that he's really a celeb or famous by a long shot lol.

He also did a sandwich round delivering to offices in Southampton. Used to drink in the Shamblehurst Barn in Hedge End.

[Riknos]

Not that he's a massive celebratory, but if anyone remembers the band Hundred Reasons; their lead singer Colin now works in Sharp as a QA tester. I was shocked.

The postman we had a while back played for Coventry City in the 90s. When He retired, he set up a kids' football academy and managed a couple of lower league teams. He moved into a fairly big house near me. Rumour has it he has problems with gambling and keeping his dick in his pants. A while back he was doing his round looking like he had been given a shoeing - one rumour involved getting caught out with someone's missus and the other involved managing a local amateur team and the players' displeasure at his use the banking services of William Hill for their subs.

Not too sure if anyone's mentioned Martin Platt from Coronation Street....he now sells cheese and gets awards for it.

Simon Shaw's currently training at Lloyds of London in readiness for his retirement from Wasps.
I think he'll make more money from after dinner speaking than from his Lloyds salary!

Not seen him in Lloyd's although Fraser Walters, Hugh Vyvian and Will Skinner are either working full or part-time in the market.

He ran an antiques shop in the West country i think

And those awfully nice people at The Sun tried to stitch him up with a "antique dealer buys item for pennies and sells for pounds" type of non-story.

Didn't David ''burger'' Vanday try and break back into show business fairly recently? He did that jungle thing and also tried to relaunch Dollar with some wannabe rapper in the video. He's obviously a heavy drinker now too judging by his skin complexion.

He dumped his bird live on TV.

Not sure who is the more stupid of the two though given that Wiki suggests that they got married after that...

(Yes i know, but i only went there as i didn't know WTF he was/is/wants to be )
