A FORMER Arsenal ace with a Hollywood name quit football aged 25 to become an accountant.
Left-back Thomas Cruise was tipped for big things after he played a key role in the club’s 2009 FA Youth Cup triumph alongside Jack Wilshere.

Arsene Wenger was a big admirer of his talents and even handed him his senior Arsenal debut in the Champions League in 2010.
