Johnny Marr - Former Smiths man Johnny Marr may now be most famous for his ornate guitar compositions but the young Johnny Maher originally aspired to be a professional footballer. Following interest from both Nottingham Forest and Manchester City (Marr's team of preference) who offered him trails, Marr decided to focus all of his attention on music telling magazine Four Four Two “I was good enough for City,but they didn't follow up because I was probably the only player out there wearing eyeliner”.
