Originally the brainchild of Robbie Williams and Jonathan Wilkes back in 2006, Soccer Aid 2008 was played last night at the hallowed ground of Wembley and was expected to take in over 1 Million Pound to go towards the United Nations children’s charity UNICEF.

It was England vs The Rest of the World with Celebrities and ex-Pros mixed together.

Only in a match like this could you see singer Craig David being shouldered off the ball by Jaap Stam.

Our own Hollywood United teammate Gilles Marini got into the act with a great goal from just inside the 18.

Gordan Ramsey once again Captained the World Side before being subbed off to injury.
