Inspired by Manchester United and France legend Eric Cantona's new album, here's five more tracks from ballers who have traded the pitch for a mic.

Issue 26

1. Not the Dancing King by Ruud Gullit

This pop-reggae tale of Dutch powerhouse Gullit wishing he had the moves to get on the dancefloor with the girl of his dreams will cheer you up, wherever you are.

‍

2. Head Over Heels In Love by Kevin Keegan

A chirpy slice of sugary pop from KK, this top ten hit in Germany from 1979 deserves a second listen. For the over-50s, think David Essex with football boots.

‍

3. We've Got A Feeling by Basile Boli & Chris Waddle

What happens when you put Ivory Coast (via France), Newcastle and 1990s disco in a musical pot? The purest of Eurotrash vibes. The video may well change your life.

‍

4. Du Bist Das GlĂĽck by Franz Beckenbauer

It's no surprise that one of the smoothest sweepers had a suave, tender voice. Translating as “You are Happiness”, this 1967 offering adds to Der Kaiser’s charm.

‍

5. Bella Vita by Kevin-Prince Boateng ft. Ty Elliot

From the Peter Andre school of bad boys, the video may be a smorgasbord of hip-hop clichés, but you can’t fault KPB’s enthusiasm and his voice is better than you might imagine.
