He sustained a double fracture to his right leg against Guildford City in October 1973 and although he returned for a handful of matches at the end of the season, helping the team move away from a potential relegation position, he left the Dons at the end of that season and took up a position as PE teacher at the Dorothy Stringer School in Brighton, where he stayed for over 35 years, rising to senior management.

He received a special recognition award for a lifetime contribution to the development of sport for young people and the wider community after turning a schools sports festival into the TAKEPART Brighton & Hove Festival of Sport.
