I believe so.

Turning down GOT is up there with the record companies who turned down The Beatles.

I've not actually seen the show, but I'm given to understand much of the success of GoT is the nudity, and whilst I'll not dwell on the idea it's possible it'd be less of a hit with former England lock Martin Hayfield prancing about in his birthday suit

The Evans bros seem to be professional celebrities.
Somewhere at the back of mind I think Paul Sackey had a car importing business.
It is more wide and varied than I thought. I just thought they became coaches or pundits and/or opened a restaurant/coffee house.

With Ali Hargreaves. They've just opened their first Tap Room in Queen's Park.

Hah! I didn't know that bit (I barely ever watch ad.s and never pay attention). I'm surprised they still happily work together if that's true.

Oh, and Ricky Reeves (ex Wasps, London Welsh) went back to the Army and is still serving in the Royal Engineers

The one on the BT sport channels where their pundits from all the different sports are asked what was the worst piece of
advice they had been given. It's one of a series where the pundits are asked different questions, eg who was your 1st crush?, what
are you scared of etc
