Since the dawn of football the footballer has seen other ways to entertain himself or earn a few extra bob. In far gone times being a professional footballer was second to your full-time job, unthinkable in the modern multi-billion pound game.
However, instead of working class men holding working class jobs the recent footballer has seen himself as the crooner, the rapper or the choir member, all football fans need now is to witness Phil Neville record his favourite christmas carols through the medium of beat-bopping.
Here are a few of the worst...and John Barnes.
Nottingham Forest, before winning their first Premier League title under Brian Clough and Peter Taylor released this magical version of 'The Whole World' also laid down by Aretha Franklin and Glitterman Beeton. Robbie Williams probably wishes he had heard this before taking a ribbing from O'Neill at World Cup 1998.
Kevin Keegan - Newcastle, Liverpool and err Hamburg legend, making a fair crack at a pop career. Housewifes across Britain and Europe had wet knickers when this Eurovision imposter of a song was released. Also, for added Keegan search 'Green Cross Road' and watch some beautiful acting on par with Jimmy Bullard.
Now for Mr Personality, not exactly making a living but taking a nice appearance fee - Arshavin singing woefully on Russian television.
Arshavin's terrible singing and performance can only be beaten by one money grabbing slime, El Tel. Singing on the Russell Hartey show, to the amusement of his players. Definitly messing with dynamite.
And finally, no words needed apart from 'HEY TOON, IT'S GAZZA...I GOT CHICKEN AND FISHING ROD'.
