I have always quite liked Matthew & Marc's Rocky Road series and their complete ability to make prats of themselves in indulging in 12yr old i dare you type behavior but lol can you imagine an ex football player being dumb enough to kiss a cobra cause his mate dared him

and jeez Mathew Ridge was once kind of sexy... what on earth happened

Rugby League players = No brain.

That pretty much explains it.

Three for me, and two for them.

As good a rugby player as he was, I don't think anyone could accuse Ellis of excelling at league!

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.  End of.
 
Bad example SK.  Vinnie Jones is an example of a sports player who could fashion a career after his playing days were over.
 
Drogba for instance could also go on to become a more succesful actor than he already is.
 
 
Edit:  Brosque could go on to become the Australian diving coach

lol well I thought a thread title of 'life after your professional sporting career is kaput' was too long :P
tho maybe I shd have titled it 'why does the once reasonable looking ridgey now look like pancho villa?'

They both have 4 Olympic golds each (same number as Greg Louganis).  The first one was a cover girl on Time magazine during the Atlanta Games.  The second won two golds at the last games in Beijing.

Found this list of sportsman who became actors. I had forgotten Jason Lee was once a professional skateboarder   http://listverse.com/2008/07/02/top-12-pro-athletes-turned-actors/

and then there are the famous sportsman who became successful entrepreneurs like George Foreman or Tony Hawk who must be worth squillions
