I played in the 1998 World Cup final for France, featured for Newcastle and Rangers during my career... but I now sell swimming pools for a living

One of French football's most iconic strikers has swapped the pitch for selling swimming pools for a living.

Stephane Guivarc'h was part of the France side that won the 1998 World Cup against Brazil. While the match will be remembered for Zinedine Zidane stealing the show and lighting up the Stade de France, many may have forgotten that Guivarc'h actually started the game.

The former Newcastle United and Rangers striker retired from football in 2002 and now plies his trade as a swimming pool salesman.

Guivarc'h currently works for his friend's company in France and appears to be enjoying every single moment of it.
