That would depend entirely on the players concerned.

I've met a lot of ex-footballers in my time. Some of them are really bright, eloquent individuals. Meanwhile, many of them are as thick as two short planks and would be no better suited to being a TV reporter or pundit than that retired bus driver you mentioned.

One of the most knowledgable ex-players I know never played above League of Wales level. Knows the game inside out, though.
