Rod Stewart - Gravely voiced housewives' favourite Rod Stewart is not only adept at getting middle-aged women to throw their knickers at him but can also handle himself on the football pitch too. Having played upfront for Middlesex Schoolboys in his youth he went on to play for Brentford. "I was there on trial. I'd go down there three or four times a week to play and clean the first team's boots. But my heart wasn't really in it", Rod explained to Rolling Stone. Stewart also has a full size "premiership quality" pitch at his mansion in Essex and regularly plays in celebrity charity matches.
