Everybody's favourite Irish throw-in specialist Rory Delap has finally called it a day, so this post we came up with over the summer when were were knocking our heads together thinking of what career Delap could take up when he finally decided to hang up his footballing boots suddenly becomes extremely relevant...
1. Quaterback
Think about how great this would be. Delap stands good 10 yards behind the snap, receives the ball, legs it forward and then launches giant Hail Mary after Hail Mary into the end zone – two handed throw of course.
2. Tour the country covering silage pits
Show me a farmer who wouldn't like Rory Delap throwing up tyres onto their pit when they're covering it and I'll show you a fool.
3. Javelin thrower
He'd definitely challenge for medals and if accuracy's a problem, I'm sure Jonny Walters would be happy to run round the field as a moving target man.
4. Darts player
'You join us here at a crunch time in the PDC World Championship final. Phil Taylor steps away from the oche but Rory Delap takes up his usual throwing position, at the back of the room...'
5. Champion Jockey
I'm as surprised as you are with this one but just look at this. (Is it just me or does David Connolly look like a 12-year-old?)
6. Host a TV show where he goes around doing up houses
It could be called 'Rory Delap's 'Delap'idated Houses'!.. No?... No? I'll get my coat.
