.. ever got the feeling you been cheated, hahahaha !

Not a Pistols thread, but a footy one, of course. Any fule kno that Jones and Cook doubled up as attack-minded stalwarts respectively for 90s West Ham and Burnley sides among other clubs.

So, how many other footballers double up as, ahem, rockers ?

To start, the easy ones:

Paul Weller (Burnley, played alongside Cook last season in a seriously punk midfield)
Richard Jobson (Leeds, Oldham, City etc - what is it about these poonks ?)
Brian Wilson (Stoke - on loan at Cheltenham at present)
Neil Young (of Man City FA Cup goal fame)
Scott Walker (played for Dunfermline last season, I believe)

come on then !

Ian Brown is a sports guy on FiveLive, which is almost the same thing.

And don't forget Madonna who used to play for Napoli and Barcelona.

A year or so ago Preston were able to field Michael Jackson alongside Ian Anderson in midfield. The mind boggles ...

the old chestnut: Roberto Carlos, is of course a big singing sensation in Brazil. His namesake plays left-back for Real Madrid.

I know he's an ILX sacred cow, but ...I have to report that one Elliot Smith just gave Montrose the lead at Cowdenbeath.

I've just remembered Ian McCulloch, who used to bang them in for Notts County at roughly the same time that the Bunnymen released their first three albums.

Pity that P Tosh of Forfar is called Paul. Can I have Leon Knight, who's a spoonerism of a Kraftwerk song? Continuing the tenuous tack, can I have one-letter-out, such as Tevin Campbell or Garth Brooks?

Gosh, I nearly forgot, there was a Czech guy who played for Viktoria Zizkov called Petr Gabriel.
