The duo signed up for the video with Glasgow singer Kenny Lee Roberts and the nightclub scenes see the stars poking fun at themselves while Kenny and his band perform the song ‘Giving It Travolta’ – about a deluded wannabe ladies man who can’t see the party is over.

And for Gordon, the shoot was so much fun he reckons it’s the closest he has come to feeling like he did when scoring goals in his playing days

Kenny said: “Giving It Travolta was so funny to shoot. We got a great venue booked out in Glasgow and enlisted the acting skills of Frank and Gordon, who were both absolutely fantastic and great to work with. The guys really nailed, but were more than happy not to take themselves too seriously, much like the rest of us.

“The promise of some free drinks also attracted some friends along on the night to be extras in the video, which turned out just as we hoped and I am sure people will really enjoy it.

The football stars themselves also loved their roles in the video – and are keen to join Kenny and the band at McChuills in Glasgow for his charity show on May 27.

Gordon said: “That would be brilliant, if I can possibly make that I’ll certainly be there. I would absolutely be up for that. Kenny has brilliant tunes, that’s my sort of music. I’m into that, I love all kinds of music believe it or not. It’s a good album and a good song.

“I really enjoyed the song, and I really enjoyed being part of the video as well. It was something that was outside my comfort zone.

“I had been asked to do a couple of other things like TV sort of comedy and I didn’t do that. I thought maybe this isn’t me but I just decided I may as well go and try it and see how I feel about it - I’ve got to say, I really enjoyed it, I loved it, every minute of it.

“I missed the buzz of playing football and always scoring goals in front of big crowds. When I walked away from that video shoot that night it was like going back to that buzz that you’ve done something, really enjoyed it and achieved something so I would probably look at doing more acting, yeah.
