Life After Football is an inspiring documentary that focusses on professional footballers and how their lives dramatically have changed. Looking at archived footage as well as extensive interviews with all of the players involved in this documentary. Writer and producer Jonty Colman came up with the idea after playing under ex Chesterfield midfielder Jamie Lowry at Bodmin College Academy.
Jamie was forced to retire from the professional game aged 26 having made over 130 appearances in Leagues One and Two. Since retirement, Lowry has moved into the coaching side of the game working with youth at Exeter City, as well as being the Head of Youth Development at Godolphin Atlantic and the Head Coach of the Bodmin College Football Academy.
We hear the shocking stories behind how one injury can subsequently ruin a professional career and how both physically and mentally a players life. How a player like Richard Flash, can go from training with the Class of 92 and living with David Beckham, to only playing 11 professional matches in his entire career and retiring aged 23.
