Matt Ritchie (now playing for Portsmouth)

I love that he scored and booted the flag. Was too busy laughing to celebrate. Just at him seemingly, inexplicably trying to head it across goal. Resulting in him playing an accidental one-two with the Bournemouth player and then nearly blasting it over the bar. 
 

I had just gained my composure to do a fist pump. Then realised he was heading for the flag and started laughing again :lol:

The ref told him to put the flag back up......Ritchie basically told him to fuck off

In the adversity of an injury crisis really enjoy a Ritchie 90th minute substitute appearance. Great bloke. Great pro.

I'd like him to stay at the club in some capacity. Has he done/is he doing coaching badges etc ?

Congratulations Matt! 

 

 

There’s a story behind this that the world needs to hear.

 

Also, he can’t have had much kip!?

I suspect it’s not as interesting as it could be, as much as it would be hilarious for him to be trucking mad, I know his family are massively into equestrian and I wonder if it might be to transport their horses.

Quite a few ex-pros get into haulage/transportation businesses, I think. Would imagine he's making some kind of provision for after he's done playing.

That seems a reasonable explanation.

As someone who drives an HGV, and actually passed my test with the same company, maybe I could clarify.

 

A lot of people do their HGV for horse boxes, usually you only need a C1 licence for horse boxes, but the price of it is the same as the C1 (rigid) HGV licence, so a lot of people actually just go for that, and that covers them incase they go over weight/size dimensions of their vehicle.

Also this country is getting a lot more camper vans of a bigger size, some of which require either the C1 or C licence.


It will 100% be for either or both of those reasons. It’s laughable to think that a footballer would drive an HGV for a living after retiring. My dad is on the upper scale of what an HGV driver earns, and he is paid that much because of booth his experience, and the fact that he’s qualified to carry hazardous chemicals. One chemical he is allowed to carry, only 14 drivers in the country are allowed to carry it, not even ADR (hazardous materials) trainers are even qualified to carry it. His annual wage is probably the same as what Ritchie earns in a week.
