The career of a professional footballer is a short one with players going into all kinds of different jobs after hanging up their boots.

Usually, those jobs are still football-related, be it management, coaching or even punditry, but every so often a player will throw up something so out of left field it has you scratching your head.

Former Premier League footballer Vinnie Jones is known to millions as an actor who used to play football rather than footballer who became an actor.

Matt Ritchie looks to be set to take up an interesting hobby/new career with what he's just done as revealed by a post on X by Colin Smith (@colinsm49915463)

I spent far too much time trying to come up with a pun-based business name for Ritchie's haulage company and failed

Newcastle United winger and part-time Gordon Ramsay look-a-like Matt Ritchie has passed his LGV test and posed for a picture with his certificate in front of a truck.

We can only speculate on what Ritchie's plans are for his new license. Perhaps he will be setting up a haulage company that delivers corner flags to Premier League grounds.

Maybe he's just done it so he can help Jason Tindall pick up his new sunbed after it wouldn't fit in his car.

Matt Ritchie has always been a bit odd

I suppose when you have enough money that you can do pretty much whatever you want, why not get all the licenses you can? I would.

Let's be honest though, unless you already knew Ritchie was having lessons, you didn't see this one coming, did you? Matt Ritchie is full of surprises.

We can't wait to see Ritchie's spanking-new V8 Scania in the Benton car park with the Newcastle veteran's best moments spray painted on the side like a proper show-piece truck.
