Hannah, also known for his roles in Four Weddings and a Funeral, Sliding Doors and The Mummy, has been an Arsenal<\/a> fan since he moved to London from Scotland more than 40 years ago.<\/p>\n

As a boy growing up in East Kilbride he had hopes of becoming a footballer long before realising his acting aspirations.<\/p>\n

Many of his childhood friends, including Rangers legend Ally McCoist, would go on to forge professional careers.<\/p>\n

“I’d like to compare myself to Bukayo Saka,” Hannah explained when describing what kind of player he was. “I played on the right wing and I was quite small and fast and I scored a lot of of goals.<\/p>\n

“My dream was to be a footballer, and it was all I ever thought about. I played or trained all the time – but, like many dreams, it didn’t come true.<\/p>\n

“As I got a bit bigger I kind of segued back into midfield but when I discovered women and beer then I kind of stopped playing.<\/p>\n

“Once I went to drama school I got very focused on that and then with moving to London and working away, around probably 20 years passed without me kicking a ball.<\/p>\n

“But then in 2013 I did a film called Shooting for Socrates, where I played Northern Ireland manager Billy Bingham at the 1986 World Cup.<\/p>\n

“We were down in Spain doing some filming there and had a bit of a kickaround and I remember thinking ‘yeah, I’ve still got it you know!’<\/p>\n

“Not anymore though – since then I have snapped my ACL [anterior cruciate ligament] which has put paid to football and a lot of sport. It is really just cycling and running for me now.”<\/p>\n

Chris Sutton and John Hannah were speaking to BBC Sport’s Chris Bevan.<\/p>\n
