Simeon Akinola once turned out against Real Madrid's youth sides after moving to Spain to pursue a career in football - but these days he's behind a desk at a famous bank.
Akinola swapped Nigeria for Spain, when his brother was picked up Atletico Madrid. And it was in Madrid where Akinola started turning out for Alcorcón - his local side in Madrid.
Here, Akinola would turn out against Real and Atleti's youth teams - who would feature David de Gea, Dani Carvajal, and Alvaro Morata. However, Akinola never quite made it to the top of the sport - and he enjoyed a journeyman career in England's lower leagues.
In his time on these shores, Akinola played the likes of Boreham Wood, Wealdstone, and Southend United. While he hasn't yet formally hung up his boots, Akinola has now landed himself a job at the world-renowned JP Morgan.
Akinola had been recovering from injury, when a friend suggested the new career path. He explained to The Athletic: "I'd like to think there's nothing JP Morgan could throw at me I haven't been through before in football."
He added: "Sitting down in front of a screen for hours is insane. It's a huge change, but I like a challenge. "You have to constantly be alert. I don't like saying I'm retired, but it's practically impossible [to go back to football]."

Akinola's final appearance on a football pitch seemingly came over the winter period - when he was a substitute in Wealdstone's 2-0 loss to Barnet in early December.
Tweeting back in February, Akinola said: "Today I became the first ever Professional Footballer to join @jpmorgan through its Athlete Transition Program.
"Immensely proud of this achievement. If you're going through a similar transition or planning your post-football career, drop me a message. Always happy to help."
