Former Fulham goalkeeping legend Jim Stannard is set to become a movie star!

The keeper, who made almost 400 appearances for Fulham between 1987 and 1995, has clinched a part in Guy Ritchie's next blockbuster - and will star alongside Vinnie Jones.

It sounds almost unbelievable, but the story was dug up by the Medway Today paper in Kent, who have kept in touch with Stannard since he left Gillingham two years ago.

He has been asked to star in a re-make of "Mean Machine" by his old pal Vinnie Jones.

Filming began at the weekend and Jim said: "Vinnie's asked me to player that part of a nasty guard. I've never acted before but I'm really looking forward to it." Stannard will play the part of a prison guard who is in a wardens' team which takes on the inmates in a brutal football match.

After hanging up his boots at Priestfield, Jim worked as a goalkeeper coach for Millwall, Brentford and Northampton.
