taken from an article with Brian, which they mention Westlife's Nicky Byrne ....

Hosting Football Superstar will not be the first time McFadden has seen at close quarters the difficulties of getting a foothold in professional football.

One of Australia's top players, Harry Kewell, left Australia as a teenager to be an academy footballer for then English Premier League team Leeds United. Kewell became friends with a young singer named Nicky Byrne, who was playing for Leeds United as a reserve goalkeeper while singing with McFadden in a band called Westlife.

"Harry was Nicky's flatmate, but I think I only met him once when I went to Leeds to meet some of the players," remembers McFadden.

Byrne's contract wasn't renewed at Leeds but it's unlikely he holds any regrets. Westlife, the group McFadden left in 1994, has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide and is third in the UK's list of artists with the most No.1 albums (behind Elvis and The Beatles).

I dont think Nicky will be regretting it either. he found Westlife and he loves that so much. plus its longevity compared to being a goalie
