5 world class footballers who could have made it big in other sports

#2 Joe Hart

Joe Hart enjoyed most of his success with Manchester City

Despite Joe Hart's career going drastically downhill over the last few years, the Burnley goalkeeper has still had a successful time in football. Back in 2012, Hart helped Manchester City to end their Premier League drought, and the 31-year-old also spent seven years as England's number one goalkeeper.

Despite this, Hart could have followed a very different path, as the goalkeeper seriously considered pursuing a career in Cricket. Hart was offered a place in a professional cricket club as a 15-year-old, and those that watched him play have stated that the former Manchester City man had a good shot at making it professionally. While Hart ultimately chose a career in football, the goalkeeper made an appearance for his local cricket team last summer, and there have been rumors that Hart could look to play cricket full time in the future.
