Leeds United legend David Batty is a man that lives away from the spotlight.
The midfielder became a cult hero at Elland Road during his two spells at the club before retiring in 2004.
Batty made over 300 appearances for United during his career, whilst also lifting the Premier League title with Blackburn Rovers.
Having been adored by Leeds fans until his retirement, Batty soon slipped away from the media's attention.
Despite his connection with the fan base, he wasn't a man to be wheeled out on TV for his opinion on current football affairs and former clubs, as so many ex-players now are.
It was clear that, when it was time to hang up his boots, he would slip away into the shadows, as explained by his agent and friend Hayden Evans.
"If it was a choice between not playing and playing Sunday league, David would go play Sunday league so we knew that as soon as his career was going to come to an end, no way was he going to go into coaching or be one of these 'legends' who show the corporates around and all that stuff," Evans told ChronicleLive.
"It was not for him. The minute he stopped playing, he was out of football. That was it. He planned his future.
"He knew financially and every other way what he was going to do and how he was going to do it.
"He just wanted to spend time with his family. He didn't want a job or a career or anything. He wanted to spend all of his time with his family and that's literally what he's done. Nothing other than that. He loved it as a player and he's loving his life after so it can't get better than that, really, can it?"
