It certainly makes you think. Would it be much fun being an out-of-favour benchwarmer in League Two, but there are many who do at even a lower level, through wind, rain, injury, not to mention sacrificing family stability (even premier league players have been known to crash on a mates sofa when on loan, then there's the kids schools, partners job, family etc). - enzee199 Fri, 28 Aug 2009 10:50:39 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/3811/38/#pc_860 I've read that he works in the loading bay at Wolverhampton Marks and Spencer. Can't verify if this is true or not though. - Jon Wed, 26 Aug 2009 08:46:59 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/3811/38/#pc_859 Thanks for that, studavis. I used to live in Wolverhampton, but after Peter had stopped playing. - The Exploding Vole Tue, 25 Aug 2009 14:41:00 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/3811/38/#pc_858 Peter Knowles is still a Jehovahs Witness in Wolverhampton, still involved heavily in the church and can be seen out knocking doors from time to time. He rarely talks about his football days. I know a lot of people see it through rose tinted spectacles, but the majority firmly believed that he could have been one of THE great English midfielders... - studavis Tue, 25 Aug 2009 13:39:08 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/3811/38/#pc_857 I'm surprised this kind of thing doesn't happen more often, especially when you consider how much pressure players are under at the top level. OK, doctors and blah de blah are under far more immense pressure and get paid less and... blah, but it is worth noting that even though somebody may be a brilliant footballer, he or she may find it diffcult to adjust to the idea of playing the game in front of 60,000 people who will love you and hate you in equal measure, switching at the drop of a hat. There are probably some very shy talents out there, undiscovered. It's a big decision to quit though. I guess it's refreshing to find those pros not driven by money. - Clance Tue, 25 Aug 2009 12:11:53 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/3811/38/#pc_856 Where is Peter Knowles now? - The Exploding Vole Tue, 25 Aug 2009 11:58:23 +0100
