As a Bolton fan I'd also point out that ex-Wanderer Owen Coyle also (apparently!) appeared in "A Shot at Glory".
We also had Jeff Chandler playing for us in the 80s, but unfortunately it was a different one

That big gong was made of paper mache, the sound came from a gong about 10 inches in diameter

I remember my boyhood hero Bryan Robson appearing in TV's Josie's Giants. He was terrible even though he was just playing himself. Saying that, he was never the most articulate of players/managers despite his many talents on the football field.

This Sporting Life was filmed at Wakefield Trinity's home ground, Belle Vue. Some of their players featured in the film.

On the boxing front one can add Joe Bugner, Nosher Powell and of course Terry Downes, whose credits included Dance of the Vampires

Wrestler Ian "Bully Boy" Muir, doyen of dozens of World of Sport tea-time appearances, was the giant with the ship on his head in Time Bandits.
Obscure tv-wise, well according to imdb dartsman Eric Bristow appeared in an episode of "Never the Twain", miler Steve Cram appeared in but one episode of Spender, while Kojak lookalike Olympic swimming gold medalist Duncan Goodhew appeared in "I'Lovett". Apparently. Three big sporting names, but I'll leave to decide which of the shows was the most obscure.
