After retiring Chris Garland spent two years selling fruit and vegetables
door-to-door. He also featured in the Southern League for Gloucester
City, before returning to professional football as a coach at Yeovil
Town. During his time there he got his friend Ian Botham to play for
the club and Yeovil won admission into the Football League.
However
his business was failing and he entered the
wine distribution business but again his business failed and he was
declared bankrupt. He went on to work as a bookmaker's clerk, which
only worsened a gambling addiction he had.
He later spent time as manager
of Western League side Minehead whilst working as an insurance
salesman. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1998. Chris Garland died on 13th July 2023 aged 74.
