Williams Lands All-star Soccer Aid Side
By WENNTuesday, March 23, 2010
ROBBIE WILLIAMS has signed up Irish boyband WESTLIFE and celebrity chef GORDON RAMSAY for his bi-annual charity soccer tournament later this year (10).
The Angels hitmaker founded the Soccer Aid event - in which professional soccer players take on celebrities - in 2006 to raise money for UNICEF UK.
The fundraiser is returning again in 2010 - and Williams is delighted he’s persuaded so many stars to sign up in the same year as the soccer World Cup, which takes place this summer (10) in South Africa.
He says, “I am so excited Soccer Aid is back. It will be a great time for football, with World Cup fever at boiling point.”
The match will take place at the U.K.’s Old Trafford ground in Manchester, England on 6 June (10) - five days before the World Cup kicks off.
