Premier League players who tried something completely different after retirement

Former Liverpool forward Ryan Babel revealed to Forbes recently how he hopes his expanding property empire will enable him to continue living like a multi-millionaire footballer for the rest of his life.

The Dutchman is back where it all started for him at Ajax, on loan from Galatasaray, but at 33 knows that his days a professional footballer are numbered.

Babel has been preparing for the day of his retirement by investing in 'multi-family homes' - a type of living he is confident will boom in a post-coronavirus world - and has a portfolio stretching from Amsterdam to Miami.
