Soccer Aid 2008
Date: Sunday 7th September
Location: Wembley Stadium, London
Reason: Soccer Aid 2008 + to get boooooozy!!
Allow me to explain:
Soccer Aid 2008 is an event in which a mixture of legends from the game of football team up with celebrities to participate in a charity football match to raise money for Unicef.
The set up was a team from England take on the rest of the world, a little unfair I hear you ask? Thats what I thought until I saw the line up for England, Alan Shearer, Teddy Sheringham, Greame Le Saux and David Seaman all included. Now I dont know about you but thats pretty impressive for a start! Thrown in there for good measure was Angus Deaton, Gareth Gates and some bloke from Hollyoaks to name a few.
On the opposing team was an equally impressive set up including Luis Figo, Paulo Di Canio and Romario. Not to mention Gordon Ramsey, Ian Rush and some bloke from Hero's.
Now as the game was'nt kicking off until 7.30pm it gave me, minty and Hollinger plenty of time to don stupid looking wigs and large comedy glasses and head into London for a pre match drink ( or 3 ).
As you can imagine we did get a few funny looks from people, but at the same time an equal amount of wolf whistles and shouts of " you look hot! ", surprising when a mojority of this was from blokes!
All in all it was a fantastic day out in London looking like drag queens ( though I did see worse ), we always seemed to find a seat on the tube which was nice, personally I just think they were scared! It was topped off by England winning 4-3 and Shearer grabbing a cheeky hat trick, could you ask for more?
