After Retirement As A Player
He temporarily managed Brighton, overseeing their relegation to Division Three in 1996, before being fired in November 1996 when they were bottom of the whole league.
Case later managed non-league Bashley, who played in the New Forest just a short distance from Southampton.
He has been a regular on the veteran players' circuit since giving up playing and used to work for Radio Hampshire as a Southampton match summariser. Since 2009 he has regularly summarised Liverpool FC games for BBC Radio Merseyside, despite continuing to live on the south coast. He also contributes to the station's Red Alert programme at 7.30pm on Friday nights. He has also recently started doing some studio work for the Liverpool FC TV station LFC TV.
In 2007, Jimmy and three other members of the 1977 Liverpool European Cup winning team embarked on a series of shows throughout the UK and Ireland to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the victory over Borussia Moenchengladbach. Alongside scorer Tommy Smith, record appearance holder Ian Callaghan and Welsh defender Joey Jones, the shows have so far been well received by both old and young fans and show the enduring popularity of the players who made the club great.
In 2009 Jimmy became the Official Mascot of The Liverpool Legends Autograph and Memorabilia Group and is a regular host of the group's "Meet The Legends" events.

Famous quotes containing the words retirement and/or player:
“He who comes into Assemblies only to gratifie his Curiosity, and not to make a Figure, enjoys the Pleasures of Retirement in a[n] ...exquisite Degree.”
—Richard Steele (1672–1729)
“Abused as we abuse it at present, dramatic art is in no sense cathartic; it is merely a form of emotional masturbation.... It is the rarest thing to find a player who has not had his character affected for the worse by the practice of his profession. Nobody can make a habit of self-exhibition, nobody can exploit his personality for the sake of exercising a kind of hypnotic power over others, and remain untouched by the process.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
