After Norwich he moved to play in Hong Kong football in February 1982
but was forced to retire from
professional football following a knee injury.
He returned to England and became a publican.
In 1997 Phil Hoadley began working
for the Norwich City Community Sports Foundation,
then known as Football in the Community. This tribute was made by the CEO Ian Thornton.
"Like, many other staff his role was to bring the power of Norwich City into schools, local
communities and provide positive footballing experiences for players of all abilities.
Phil also supported many coaches through their first FA Coaching qualification, and worked
with some talented local players in our Player Development Centres and Academy. Phil was
a talented and engaging coach who motivated all around him.
At home games, Phil would
run our match day clubs. He’d supervise children from local grassroots clubs, walking them
from Trowse training ground to games at Carrow Road. While many of the children didn’t
really know about Phil’s career as a professional footballer, their City-supporting mums and
dads certainly did.
Phil was just great at inspiring and teaching people, giving them skills
and memories for life. His humour and charisma would light up the office, classroom or pitch.
His knowledge and personality always left a positive impression on the hundreds of children
he coached.
He will be missed, but never forgotten. RIP, ‘Geez’."
