Where are they now?

[irunthev]

Just wondering if any of you know of any former inter-county players who have gone on to do remarkable / unusual things after they finished playing football. What guys moved overseas, what guys became successful in another field? I appreciate that a lot of inter county players are already successful in their chosen careers when they are playing, but I was curious if any of you know of any who have done anything slightly different or moved off somewhere other than Ireland or England. Media work not included.

I heard Ray Silke went into punditry and match analysis, but that sounds a bit far-fetched to me.

Gerry McEntee of Meath is a surgeon as well I think. Isn't there also one of the Dubs 70s team abroad somewhere, and has a big job. I can't remember off hand who it is. Maybe Hanahoe?
