Gavin Rossdale turned to rock `n’ roll after a knee injury wrecked a promising professional soccer career.

Gwen Stefani’s husband, who starred in 2005 soccer movie The Game Of Their Lives, was once handed a trial at top London team Chelsea. But his sporting dreams were never realized because of a knee injury.

Rossdale went on to find fame as the frontman of Bush, but is still a huge soccer fan, and hopes his son Kingston, who celebrates his second birthday next month, will take up the sport.
