After retiring from football Andy Linighan  set up a plumbing business,

Linighan Plumbing Services in Harpenden, Hertfordshire. It did well,

not least because of Linighan's tongue-in-cheek marketing. Apparently his van was

emblazoned with the slogan: Andy Linighan - Average Footballer, Excellent Plumber.
