Jordan Seabright was just 20 years old when he decided to hang up his boots. A backup goalkeeper at Torquay Untied, a club in England’s fifth division, Jordan made just 17 appearances in his entire career. Seabright, impressed with the level of service he had received at a car dealership, Poole Audi, where he had gone to buy a car, decided that was the place he wanted to be.
After retiring, Jordan was quoted as saying, "If I'm honest, I fell out of love with the game, I didn't really enjoy it any more. I didn't see myself going anywhere and I want to have a career and be successful. It wasn't a lack of ambition in football, but it was a good opportunity for me come home and work in a good environment. I had dealt with the company, I drive one of their cars and it is a very professional environment. I am really looking forward to the new challenge.”
