English Football Entertainment XI

Oriental_AddickOriental_Addick
edited November 2011 in General Charlton
Was just reading the FA cup match preview vs Halifax on the club website, and noticed this:

[On the subject of Halifax Town] "They are missing a key player who has been scoring a few goals for them in James Dean."

This reminded me of Jeff Stelling celebrating every goal scored by a Hartlepool player named James Brown, and got me thinking...would it be possible to come up with a team composed entirely of players who shared names with celebs from the entertainment industry?

GK: ?
DF: Michael Jackson (used to play for Blackpool)
DF: Michael Ball (former Man City)
DF: ?
DF: ?
MF: James (Jim) Morrison (West Brom)
MF: ? 
MF: ?
CF: James Brown (Hartlepool)
CF: James Dean (Halifax Town)
CF: Chris Martin (Norwich)

All I could remember off the top of my head!

    I think the Franz Ferdinand one is a bit of a stretch, but I dig the lateral thinking.

    Wasn't there an East German team called Karl Marx Stadt? Could be the name of the team.
