Richard Ashcroft - The Verve frontman and Lancashire native played for Wigan Athletic in his teens although unsurprisingly for an avid Manchester United fan maverick winger George Best was his idol growing up. Ashcroft still has a place in his heart for Wigan Athletic as well as still playing occasionally. He was last spotted playing in a charity football match on the side of the England Legends against Germany Legends in June 2006 to raise money for cancer research.
