a-museing Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 http://www.sheffieldtelegraph.co.uk/news2/Muse-man39s-thriller-against-Millers.6521648.jp HE'S played in front of thousands - but not on this occasion. Muse bassist Chris Wolstenholme regularly takes to the stage at packed out gigs and music festivals all around the world. But the Rotherham-born musician, who lived in Broom and Dalton, was back on home turf when he played in a football match with his road crew. The Muse boys were up against a team representing the Millers Trust at Parkgate FC's ground at Roundwood Sports and Social Club, Green Lane, Rawmarsh. Only a handful of people witnessed the game against the supporters' trust, which was played behind closed doors. Chris, now aged 31, was born in Rotherham and moved to Teignmouth, Devon, when he was 11. It was there where he eventually met up with fellow musicians Matt Bellamy and Dom Howard and formed Muse, now recognised as one of the biggest bands in the world. Now living in Dublin with his wife Kelly and four children, he remains a massive fan of Rotherham United and goes to Millers games whenever he can. And he loves to play the game Chris said: "On tour, we and the lads try to play football wherever we can. "When we were in America we managed to play against some of the Major League Soccer teams, but this is amazing. I can't believe I've just been playing against Millers legends such as Paul Hurst and Richie Barker, it's been brilliant. "I want to say a big thanks to all the players and staff who turned up for the game." And what made it even better for Chris is the Muse team won 4-3 and he scored the winner.
