Talking 186-grey worker road

Hello all
What does the following sentence mean? The part in the parentheses.
He is a guy who wanted to play football, but was refused the chance as a teenager and instead has to go the( grey worker road) to support himself.
Thank you
Matilda

Default Re: 186-grey worker road

"grey worker" could mean "old worker" as in grey haired?
