After his retirement from the professional game, Ryan bought and ran The Witch Inn in Lindfield,

West Sussex, with his wife Simeon. He turned out regularly for The Witch in the

Lewes Sunday League. Ryan was admitted to hospital on 18 August 2007 after

suffering a stroke. Ryan's recovery from the stroke left him with a weakness

in his left side and he decided to sell The Witch.
