Sky Sports pundit and former Manchester United player Gary Neville is set to switch from a football analyst for the first time as he's set to join several stars who swapped the game for music.
The former England defender is reportedly set to join Tim Burgess, a Charlatan lead vocalist at the Kendal Calling festival in Cumbria.
The 49-year-old has his hands on numerous occasions these days, from being the Reds Devils captain to commentating on the biggest matches and joining up with the cast of Dragon's Den.
The former Valencia manager is set to team up with the singer in August 2024 where he'll follow in the footsteps of a few other notable Premier League legends who have played with a bit of music.
Below is the list of several others who have tried music after a footballing career
Ruud Gullit
The former Chelsea player forayed into Reggae music, channeling his inner Bob Marley whilst at Feyenoord in his home country of the Netherlands in 1984 with music titled "Not The Dancing Kind".
His musical exploits seem to be a bit better than his managerial ones, although he was the first foreign manager to win the FA Cup.
Andy Cole
The former Manchester United decided to celebrate his treble-winning season with the Red Devils by releasing his debut single with DJ Pied Piper in 1999.
The single was titled 'Outstanding,' which includes the simply amazing line; "Got my kicks from hitting the net - not from drugs, you bet".
Cole signed to Warner Music to record his cover of the original Gap Band song but didn't see the success he had in the studio as he had on the field.
Glenn Hoddle and Chris Waddle
The two England aces created their synth-pop single Diamond Lights in 1987 under the name Glenn and Chris, which has gone down in pop folklore.
The Tottenham duo made an appearance on the hit show Top of the Pops, where other legend of the game like Paul Gascoigne and Vinnie Jones entangled their lyrical trade for an event.
Clint Dempsey
The USA football ace made almost 200 appearances for Fulham before moving to the north of the capital and joining Tottenham in a then-record deal for an American player.
Under the hip-hop alias 'Deuce,' the striker joined up with Texas-based rappers to perform 'Don't Tread,' a song used for a Nike campaign in 2006.
Dempsey also recorded the 13-track 'The Redux' in Los Angeles ahead of captaining the USA's World Cup team in 2014, proving that the Premier League player was just as definitive off the pitch as he was on it.
John Barnes
John Barnes, perhaps the most popular football player to take up the microphone, his verse that features in New Order's 'World In Motion' is sung by every man and his dog when the World Cup comes around.
The 1990 tune will go down as one of England's unofficial anthems, and Barnes has since become infamous for his bar-spitting skills.
Adverts for Quality Street and teaming up with grime hero Big Narstie have followed for the Liverpool legend, who is the go-to footballer when it comes to lyrical nous.
