Can hotshot DJ and producer Plastician hack it as a pro footballer? Twin B finds out!

Twin B gives DJ and producer Plastician the chance to discover what it's like to be a professional footballer, in exchange for training Leicester City's Neil Danns in the studio!

Football fanatic Twin B gives DJ and producer Plastician the chance to discover what it's like to be a professional footballer, in exchange for training Leicester City's Neil Danns in the studio!

When you think about it, the best footballers and musicians have a pretty similar time of it: a rock and roll lifestyle at times, a need to be focused, determined (and lucky) to get to the top, and, even once you've made it there, your whole career could be taken away from you after one bad record - or season.

So how will our stars fare when the tables are turned? Plastician fancies himself on the pitch, but he's in for a tough time as he's put through his paces with the Millwall squad. When he's not trying to get Leicester City back into the Premiership, Neill Danns works on his other passion; music. But can he make a career out of it once he hangs up his boots? 

Meanwhile we talk to Tinchy Stryder, to find out just how close he was to becoming pro and we catch up with other football crazy music stars such as Benga and Charlie Sloth. 

We also hear from football coaches and footballers passionate about music such as QPR's Nedum Onuoha and former Coventry City striker Leon McKenzie.
