Ex-West Ham star Bowyer now running French fish farm!

Former West Ham United and Newcastle United midfielder Lee Bowyer is now running a fish farm in France!

Bowyer owns a fishing lake in the Champagne region.

"When I was playing, I used to go on fishing holidays in France for a week every June with my mates," Bowyer told the Daily Mail. "There was this place I loved near a village called Orconte. In November, I called the owner and he was looking to sell because of health issues. So I bought it."

The lake's old name was La Fritterie, but Bowyer has renamed it Etang de Bows, which translates as Bows' Lake —his nickname.
