English Football Entertainment XI

Was just reading the FA cup match preview vs Halifax on the club website, and noticed this:

[On the subject of Halifax Town] "They are missing a key player who has been scoring a few goals for them in James Dean."

This reminded me of Jeff Stelling celebrating every goal scored by a Hartlepool player named James Brown, and got me thinking...would it be possible to come up with a team composed entirely of players who shared names with celebs from the entertainment industry?

I think the Franz Ferdinand one is a bit of a stretch, but I dig the lateral thinking.
