Piggybacking on Ijjy's post about doncaster signing up a singer as a reserve footballer.
Famous non footballers to play football professionally. There's a bunch of dual code sportsmen, of course.
Ian Botham played a handful of times for s****horpe and yeovil. Viv Richards even played internationally for antigua.
Tony Ward, the lions player, ended up playing football for limerick as well. Toni Fritsch, an austrian at rapid vienna, went onto to become something of a sensation in american football, I think.
One of Gadaffi's kids ended up playing in italy, I think.
Niels Bohr, the father of quantum physics, was first choice for AB in denmark. Likewise Albert Camus, the french philosopher, played football to a decent level in algeria. Vladimir Nabokov, who wrote Lolita, used to play for cambridge united.
I think Gordon Ramsey used to claim he had a trial for rangers but was probably lying.
Most famous footballers seem to be golakeepers actually, Pope John Paul II played there for his university team in poland, Arthur Conan Doyle for an amateur team in portsmouth and pavarotti went for trials as a goalkeeper after leaving school.
And Che Guevera helped funded his revolutionary wars by coaching kids football, bizarrely.
