Later Career
That 1968 season was not quite the end of Roy Kerslake as a first-class player: he continued to play Minor Counties cricket for Somerset's second eleven until the late 1970s and twice, in 1974 and 1976, was picked for the Minor Counties representative side against the touring team.
In more recent years, he has been involved in administrative roles in Somerset cricket as chairman of cricket and latterly as president. He was, according to Foot, a highly influential figure in Somerset's years of success in the early 1980s and a "father confessor" figure to the top players. In his professional life, he is now a consultant on probate and tax issues to the legal company Clarke Willmott, based in the Taunton office.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“Work-family conflicts—the trade-offs of your money or your life, your job or your child—would not be forced upon women with such sanguine disregard if men experienced the same career stalls caused by the-buck-stops-here responsibility for children.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
