can you name an other BRITISH footballer who has made it as a footballer and a film star (hollywood) can you name another who has made it big time as a sucessful film star other players have been in small clips but vinny is the only one to do so ::) this will give you something to think about :doh:

I found a few but used Google so it's cheating.

no its not  ;D are they british and made it to hollywood  ???

Stan Collymore was in Basic Instinct 2. Although only for a short time, so yes and no. And Cantona, but no and yes.

I haven't a clue, i suspect someone can tell. Oh and Best, so yes and yes. Sorta.

collmore hasn't made it big time  the only 1 who got close dow its kind of funny that a hardman like vinny being the only one

 Well clearly two ex STFC legends, Mike Summerbee and Osvaldo Ardiles, exhibited not only their thespian talents but football skills as well in Escape To Victory.

 This would be the only example of a club having two ex players, in a film  directed by a someone who'd also directed the likes of Bogart and Hepburn.

Was John Wark not also in escape to victory?

John Fashanu hosted gladiators? Not a movie I know but still on the box.

Mike Summerbee was in that too if i remember rightly  ;)


Something smells fishy around here  :eatkf:

Yeah Johnny Wark was in there along with pretty much all of the Ipswich squad at the time as it was filmed close to their training ground I believe, I certainly remember O'Callaghan, Beattie, Wark, Osman, Sivell, Cooper and Turner....I love that film!

I'm sure I read that Wark's voice was dubbed as no-one could understand him.  Apparently the first he knew about it was a the screening, and he was not happy.

Bobby Moore, Mike Summerbewere also in escape to 'Escape to Victory'.
And Rambo of course!!!

Mel Sterland = When Saturday Comes (an awful film)

We can agree on that one at least Rich!

Yes we can!

that the sean bean sheff utd one?

Indeed it is.

Is that why they signed Sharp....Billy that is.

Sean Bean - "Do you want someone loud and Northern?????????"

My next former door neighbour Gerry is an actor and voice over artist who does a load of the advert voice-overs as a Sean Bean soundalike. Apparently the 02 adverts were actually the real Sean Bean though.
