KNOW YOUR PLACE

From the Sun:

Former England soccer ace Neil Webb has started a new job as a POSTMAN.

Webb, 39, has hit hard times since his £5,000-a-week heyday at Manchester United. Once the soccer hero Neil Webb had his boots cleaned by David Beckham while a Manchester United favourite.

Now the retired midfielder, who quit football after a string of injuries in 1996, is being paid £220 for a week of ten-hour shifts at the Royal Mail sorting office in Reading, Berks.

Webb, who played 26 times for his country, admitted yesterday:

"I know people might think it's a bit strange but I've no skills other than football

“I know some people will think, 'What's he doing being a postman, he played for Man United?' But just because I was a pro footballer does not make me a millionaire by any means.

“The game doesn't owe me a living, but I'd love to get back into it as a coach or even a scout. Some of the lads I played with are doing really well, like my old Man Utd team-mates Mark Hughes with Wales and my old skipper Bryan Robson. But I know I'm not manager material.”
