"What happens to Pro Footballers after they're rejected"

Interesting comments from Gavin Herroo which coonfirms what a lot of players think about dropping outside of the league....

"Heeroo had offers from League clubs, but joined then-Conference National side Grays Athletic in an effort to hang on to his flashy lifestyle.
"I always saw professional football as a job, like any other industry," he explains. "Sometimes you can get paid more at a lower level than you can in the higher divisions. It might not be a great move for your career, but you need the income. I had a flat and a car. I was still hooked on the lifestyle."
In hindsight, Heeroo admits, dropping out of the Football League was a mistake.
"I dropped too low," he says. "When you're in the lower leagues it's hard to get noticed; it's hard to get out. It's very difficult. You have been so pampered and then suddenly you have to clean your own kit."
