Jim Steele spent four years playing soccer in the U.S.A.

He was employed as a foreman at an electrical plant in Washington,

before returning to Britain in 1994.

Having also run a bar in Washington and with friends running a pub in Southampton,

it seemed natural to enter the pub trade when he returned to Britain.

He did holiday-relief management at Black Horse pub in Naunton, Gloucestershire and

ran Naunton Downs Golf Club's bar for seven months before he and his partner Gill

took over at the Black Bear pub in Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire.

He later managed the Eastleigh District Irish Society bar in Eastleigh, Hampshire.
