RR has just passed the knowledge and will be a black cab driver I have been reliably informed. Good honest work, but demonstrates once again how much football has changed.

    A god bothering cabby - a mix made in heaven. :)

    Good luck to him, he'll get a good tip from me if he ever gets my fare.

    A retired footballer becoming a cabbie sounds exactly like the sort of job footballers used to do when they retired, back in the good old days!

    It's not like he's devoted his post retirement life to becoming a manager or coach

    If there would ever be a way to book him, I would, every single time, and give him a bloody good tip, with a vision of his goal at Wembley in my mind as I hand over the wedge.

    And I bet I'm not the only one.

    I'd book NLA too when he passes, but I know he ain't gonna go sarf of the river :-)

    That and you know his cab would have a live feed straight to the local nick.

    Shame we can't use his skills at the valley ( coaching our defenders, not driving the team bus).

    After a lot of hard work passing the knowledge he will have to show a lot of god fearing restraint in not swearing at those addison lee amateurs.

    Well done Richard Rufus. As someone said above it's good, honest work, hope he does well for himself.
    Isn't it true that it takes 2 years or something like that to learn the knowledge?

    3 Years? well as i've been misinformed, how long does it actually take to learn the knowledge and pass the test completely if you're looking to do it full time?

    Im sure people do it in 2 years but that's prob without any set backs from examiners.

    Depends how hard you work at it. At the moment im only doing it at weekends and the odd night after work but you have lots of exams. You have a map test which is like multiple choice.

    Then you have lots of appearances where you go in the room with an examiner and they ask you to take them from one point to another and mark you on the best
