Did the bloke from Kasabian who scored the volley on Soccer AM play for Leicester? He might have done.
Julio Iglesias played for Real Madrid, and I think Rod Stewart was on schoolboy books with one of the London clubs.
John Barnes briefly interrupted his career as a rapper to play professional football.
That's all I've got.

That volley bloke, subject to confirmation, might be featuring in that first podcast with a bloke who liked to convert wingers. What a punk. So yeah, he's in this category for sure.

Wasn't Pope John Paul II a goalkeeper?
Bradley Walsh (has released a couple of crooning albums) was at Brentford.
John Burns went into financial management, but played guitar (and maybe sang) in The Establishment for a few years.
Nicky Byrne was a youth keeper at dirtyleeds -
Pavarotti was a goalkeeper, although not professionally.

If it adds anything I normally tell people I've introduced to Tricky that he used to play the symbols in B*Witched, when he toddles off to the bar.
