Following his retirement from the professional game, Brian coached semi-professionally at a

local level and was also able to dedicate some time to his other sporting love, cricket,

at a semi-professional level for Norden. His match-winning exploits in a local rivalry game

against Heywood made the local press. After his retirement altogether from playing sports,

Brian was regularly seen in the media giving his thoughts on Manchester United.

In 2012, he released his autobiography, "GREENHOFF!" with the title dedicated to the

chant that was given to him by the Stretford End.  He moved with his family to Menorca

before returning to Rochdale.

On 22nd. May 2013, Greenhoff died at his home in Rochdale.  

He was  survived by his wife, Maureen and sons Paul, Brian and Peter.
