Former Crystal Palace midfielder Darren Ambrose has told out-of-contract players to not wait around in search for a new club. “I always wanted to run and own my own business when I retired and I think the day after I left Colchester I signed my first barber shop with my best mate. “We went 50/50 and when I looked at it, I thought I will run a barber shop, everyone needs their haircut, it will be easy, but it is far from it. “To start with it was easy and I didn’t miss football that much,” Ambrose explained. Darren Ambrose spent three seasons at Crystal Palace and helped them avoid relegation from the Championship during the 2009-10 season (Rebecca Naden/PA)“It is magnificent to see where Crystal Palace are and who knows where the club would be had we not stayed in the division 10 years ago,” Ambrose said.
