5 famous celebrities who almost became professional footballers

#2 Gordon Ramsay

Gordon Ramsay has a soft spot for the beautiful game

Before cooking up a storm in the kitchen with his extensive gourmet skills, Gordon Ramsay tried his hand at a career in football during his younger days. After impressing for the Warwickshire U-14s, Ramsay was given a chance to train with the Glasgow Rangers for a couple of months but unfortunately got injured midway. Eventually, Ramsay chose a career in food rather than football and to his and everyone’s delight turned to be an excellent decision.

Now, Gordon Ramsay is one of the most popular personalities in television and famous for his ill temper and the habit of yelling at people. He starred in several popular reality cooking shows including, ‘Hell's Kitchen’ and ‘Masterchef'. Ramsay also teamed up with David Beckham to open a Mediterranean restaurant in 2013.
