He left Mansfield after two seasons, dropping into non-League football with Scarborough and becoming a policeman in Nottingham in April 1984.[1][2]
In 1987 he joined Cleveland Police, playing for the work cricket and football team, as well as the England national police cricket and football teams.[2] He subsequently became player-manager at Marske United. He left the club during the 2001–02 season to concentrate on his police career, but returned as manager in 2005.[3] He left the club in January 2008.[4]
