Life After Football
After leaving Chester, Rimmer left professional football. He joined non–league side Marine. He has received a warm welcome on his occasional returns to the club to watch a game and when he was involved in the re–naming ceremony for the Harry McNally Terrace in tribute to his former manager.
In March 2007, Rimmer was guest of honour at the Bescot Stadium as Walsall beat Chester 1–0.
Stuart was inducted into the Chester Football Club Hall of Fame in March 2011 at a home game v Salford City, confirming his legendary status amongst the supporter owned clubs fans.
Stuart no longer plays football but now enjoys playing cricket for local Southport team (Bedford Park) who are known as the Southport Barmy Army. After a short absence at the end of the 2011 campaign Stuart has come out of retirement to sign again for 2012 where he will fit into his accustomed No 4 slot.

Famous quotes containing the words life and/or football:
“It’s not that we have too much mother, but too little father. We can’t forgive our mothers for taking the place of our fathers until we are ready to see that the point of a man’s life is to be a father and a mentor, and we can’t do that because we don’t know how we would be a father or a mentor when we never had one.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“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.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
