Post Rugby League Career
Tim Pickup worked for AMP from the mid-1960s to the mid-1990s as a Financial Planner. He also owned a successful chain of Donut shops in 3 Sydney locations. His last day of work was as CEO of the now defunct Adelaide Rams. He also managed Boxer Jeff 'Hitman' Harding when he won the WBC Light-Heavyweight World Title in 1989.
Upon retirement from the Bulldogs, with the urging of Bulldog patriarch Peter "Bullfrog" Moore, Pickup became a director of the Football Club and served in this capacity for well over a decade. This was without a doubt the most successful period in the team's history. Scouting was also one of his duties, his most notable discovery being Australian representative David Gillespie. He was awarded Life Membership at Canterbury-Bankstown in 1985.
