    Question eL Players and Business Ventures

    A few Cork City FC players have been investing their money, a few have bought a pub and another two have started a clothing store. Good idea to be fair !!

    Just wondering, are there other players with other clubs doing similar ??
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    Very few of our pros are on what you would call a great wage - the kind that leaves you wondering what to invest your readies in next - so I doubt many would have their "own" money to put into things like this.

    The one thing they do have, however, is plenty of time on their hands, and a degree of public popularity, which would help them attract financial backing from other people.

    Does anyone know if that is O'Brien's only source of income outside football or does he have another job.

    The website and business is a good idea. A nice niche market there. However I can't imagine it being a huge money earner.

    Our goalkeeping coach Gary Matthews sells goalkeeping equipment too, so they have a nice little number going. Digger does fire and security alarms as his own business. Graham Gartland used to work for him at one point. None of the current lads do though as far as I know.
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
