Shane Supple

Bit of an odd story, Ipswich keeper aged 22 quits because he wants a career change.  You don't often see that.

Great name.Sounds like a super hero 

Good on him,if football doesn't make him happy then he should find something else to do with his life.

[Doore]

Agreed - although if he ends up doing the 8.30-5 (where did the 9-5 thing come from?  lazy bastards) office thing like so many of us for the next 50 years he might look back and wonder...

I bet he becomes a monk.

[Doore]

Or a drunk.  Or a drunk monk.

If he then on to play The Doctor he's basically become Tom Baker.

[Rich Pullen]

He'll be back in football within a year (certainly within the Irish leagues)

Supple was decent keeper, I saw him as a teenager for Ipswich at Plymouth a few years back. The guy was probably bored senseless because he always seemed to be second fiddle whether it was Lewis Price, Neil Alexander or Richard Wright.

[Power to people]

I vaguely remember a year or 2 ago there was another player that done this and then about a year 18 months later he was back in football
