did he not go out there to open a coffee shop, or something along those lines?

 

[bluethroughandthrough]

yep... no idea where this coffee shop is.. let me know if anyone finds out as ill pop in there

 

[Shrimper2thecore]

He bought the cafe a few years before he ritired, thinking ahead, so when he retired he was just going to go and sit in it!!

 

[shrimper n sydney]

Dont know about the cafe, but is on Fox sports every week as compare and commentator for the EPL games which are shown live over the weekends. He will need all the coffee he can get to keep him awake!!!

 

[Streaky]

Are there any clips on youtube of Spinner on the tele?

 

[shrimper n sydney]

See what I can do. Streaky. Have not seen any to date.

 

[sanchosser]

Any news on Prior's caff!? Am going out to Oz soon and would like to see if he can make me a decent cup of tea.

Looked on Fox Sports but couldn't see any info about him...

Spinner told me a early last season that he was opening a rock bar of some kind in Sydney, so maybe thats something to look for too. He said that he'd bought a place in Manley, which is not a cheap area to live!! Well worth the ferry journey, just to see a decent beach & chill out. Not much there, but the journey is a good one!

 

[sufc_tom]

I thopught it was some sort of Coffee shop that he always wanted to do out there??

 

[The Big Shrimp]

I spoke to him at the sponsors evening a couple of Octobers ago, but that is what he was talking about doing. Who knows?

Nice bit on Spinner and his career on Premier League World (BT Sport). Now coaching Thailand Ladies but sounded very keen to coach at a high as level as possible.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Obviously selling cheese sandwiches lost it's attraction.

I remember getting the train from Rayleigh to college and saw Spinner on the train at Hockley or Rochford. Top Man

 

[Hawkwell Blue]

Bumped into him on Manly Beach back on 2010, poor sod couldn't get rid of me!

I posted on a different Spinner thread that I've run into him a few times now at league matches in Bangkok. Sometimes he goes on the terraces to watch the match....sometimes just stays outside the ground getting very merry. He knows he's right up against it coaching the Thai ladies team as they have no Womens league at all, they only get together for international matches. He took them over to the States a few months back, needless to say they got hammered.

He asked me if I wanted to come onto the coaching team to translate, his current translator isn't getting the right message across. He said in one game he told them to sit back and protect a lead, that somehow translated into "Go gung ho" and they conceded a couple of late goals. As much as I would have jumped at the chance my Thai is pretty awful so I had to decline.
