Shankly the one-match Bluebird.

Legendary Liverpool manager Bill Shankly played once for Cardiff City. During the 1939-45 war, players in the forces could turn out as guests in wartime regional football for the club nearest to where they were based. During 1942, Shankly, then a PNE and Scotland wing-half, was stationed at RAF St Athan. On 3 October 1942, City manager Cyril Spiers invited him to play at Ninian Park against Lovells Athletic, the Newport-based confectionery manufacturers team, in a League West match. His match-fee was thirty shillings (£1.50), but in conversation with the Lovells players whose firm was producing wartime rations for the forces, Shankly discovered that they received £5 per match. So he never played for City again and Joined Lovells!
