A former Premier League striker earned huge sums at the height of his career before having to take on a £400-a-week job cleaning toilets.
Former Premier League striker Kevin Kyle took a job earning £400 a week as a ship storeman, cleaning toilets and stacking stock, to provide for his family near the end of his football career.
