However, reality soon dawned as he decided to walk away from football."The injury I had, which I still have trouble with today, is just insane," he told WalesOnline in 2021 as he opened up about the moment that wrecked his football career. When I was trying to regain my career, I couldn’t because I had a limp.

I could score 20 goals in a game, but I had a limp, it doesn’t look like I’m fit, so I do a fitness test and I’m not going to pass it."On being told by Ferguson that he would be leaving the club amid a restructuring of their youth system, Calliste recalled: "It was a matter of ‘look, it’s just bad timing, there’s too many people in front of you at the moment, he doesn’t want to hold me back and make false promises, I guess’. There’s no hard feelings there, it’s all good, they’re a great club, and I’m still a fan of the club."After retiring from football, Calliste more than landed on his feet as he launched watch company Global Watches in 2013, selling high-end timepieces including Rolex, Audemars Piguet and Hublot, from anywhere between £50,000 and £250,000.

The luxury business has pulled in up to £15m per year, with footballers and other celebrities among its clientele."Obviously once I realised that football wasn't going to be for me, I had to find something that I used to wake up and enjoy," he explained. I think people are enjoying their money nowadays a bit more than they used to, because interest rates in banks - if you've got money sitting in the bank, I don't think you get much back for it nowadays."The values of watches helps," he added.
