#10 Geoff Horsfield - Bricklayer


This English striker has been a part of Birmingham City as well as West Bromwich Albion’s successful campaigns for promotion to the English Premier League. 
In his early days as a player in the amateur leagues, Horsfield took a college course in brick-laying, and played part-time football for many seasons while pursuing the profession of a brick-layer. A team mate of his from his days of obscurity had this to say about his habits: “Geoff turned up straight from the building site, still wearing his work gear and with a Big Mac in his hand. But it didn't stop him scoring."
Some years later, Horsfield was signed on by Birmingham City for a club record fee of £2.25 million
