There was a time when I was a kid that footballers opened pubs, sports shops, chippys or frozen food companies when they retired but in the past thirty years or so it seems more and more players go into some form of Football Management ..
Whether it be for a non league club a la Shaun Gale or an International team like Eoin Hand.
Well how many of Pompey’s ex-players have gone into some kind of Football Management ?
We had a think and came up with a list of 48…
1. Eoin Hand
2. David Kemp
3. Justin Edinburgh
4. Lee Bradbury
5. Kevin Dillon
6. Bobby Campbell
7. Eddie Howe
8. Martin Allen
9. Steve Agnew
10. Kevin Ball
11. Richard Money
12. Ron Saunders
13. Tony Barton
14. Jimmy Dickinson
15. Terry Connor
16. Preki
