James Allen - As recently as four years ago, the Glasvegas main man was playing professionally and spent time at Falkirk, Gretna and Cowdenbeath in Scotland. The maudlin rocker was eventually released from the club and went on to form the immensely popular band behind hits such as 'Daddy's Gone' and 'Geraldine'. Allen has likened his time as a footballer with being in a band saying, "The common link between the two is they can be pretty triumphant, euphoric, feel-good."
