Ben Burgess: Why I retired from football to be a teacher
Teaching primary school age children may not be the first job that comes to mind after a career in professional football.
But for former Hull City and Blackburn player Ben Burgess, becoming a teacher after retiring from football in 2012 was the obvious choice.
He now teaches Year 4 at Hawes Side Academy in Blackpool, and told 5 live Daily's Adrian Chiles that although the job was "a completely different world", he loved it.
"Scoring a goal - there's probably no better feeling in the world," he said. "But when someone goes, 'I get that now! It's clicked!' It's like, yes! I don't know if it's joy or relief."
