I was just thinking back to when I first started watching Saints at the start of the 90's and was wondering what happened to the players of yesteryear. I presume most went back into some form of job in their hometowns. Does anyone know what these guys went on to do ?
1. Phil Vievers (Salford Asst Coach)
2. Alan Hunte (Salford youth Coach)
3. Gary Connolly
4. Paul Loughlin
5. Les Quirk
6. Tea Ropati
7. Jonathan Griffiths
8. Kevin Ward
9. Paul Groves
10. Jon Neill
11. George Mann
12. John Harrison
13. Shane Cooper
Others I remember from around that era:
Bernard Dwyer (think he is a prison officer at Hindley)
Paul Bishop
Mark Bailey
Roy Haggerty
Paul Forber
Gus O'Donnell
Anthony Sullivan
Sonny Nickle
Mike Riley
Any ideas what these guys went on to do ?

Griffiths is now a fireman back in Wales
Think Connolly said, the other week on SL supermen that he was doing some kind of youth work, but he couldn't go into too much detail.

Anthony Sullivan trained as a plasterer & lives somewhere in Warrington, I think.
Paul Forber is a self employed joiner/kitchen fitter, who really ought to be a stand up comedian. What a character!
As far as I know, Gary Connelly works for a company which provides one to one care/supervision for young people with "troubled" backgrounds, so he will never be out of work!

He could just work with the Tomkins family and he'd never have to look elsewhere for work. |

Yeah, he plastered my Kitchen about 5 years ago, couldn't believe me eyes when he came round to give me a quote. But I'm sure he was on Superleague Supermen the other week saying that he now works for the RFL?? |

Paul Loughlin was a guest on Radio Merseysides try time last night. I can't remember what he said he was doing now. I should have listened more closely.
Anthony Sullivan now has an RFL coaching job IIRC.

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

Anthony Sullivan did work for the RFL. But I believe he'll take up a similar role at Widnes from next year.

In 2010 Tea Ropati was the assistant coach with the Mangere East Hawks in the Auckland Rugby League competition. [according to Wiki]

Didn't Bernard Dwyer coach Portico a few years ago?
And my sister goes to school with Roy Haggerty's son, so all I know is he lives in Haydock somewhere I think!

Sonny Nickle also is in care work or prison work isn't he?
Roy Hagg works for the council.
You missed Karl Hammond off, he works down the mines in Australia, also coaches a local Rl team (and upsets the refs)
