After Football
In retirement, Venison took up punditry for Sky Sports before moving to ITV.
In the early 2000s (decade), Venison launched an on-line sports memorabilia auction site. The company "bid4sport.com" was a not-for-profit company and raised money for charities. Julie Venison was also involved in Bid4sport providing business support and book-keeping for the venture. The company was initially based on the outskirts of Romsey before expanding and moving to premises to the west of Fareham. The venture was created with the help of friend and co-professional Brad Freidel. Venison Sold Bid4sport shortly before his family relocated to the United States.
Venison now resides in Southern California with his family, wife Julie, son Max and daughter Jade.
Venison also made an appearance as himself in the 2001 comedy film, Mike Bassett: England Manager.

Famous quotes containing the word football:
“You can’t be a Real Country unless you have A BEER and an airline—it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a BEER.”

“In this dream that dogs me I am part
Of a silent crowd walking under a wall,
Leaving a football match, perhaps, or a pit,
All moving the same way.”
