Stars and football legends go head to head at Wembley Stadium

Soccer Aid is back, as World Cup legends and top celebrities go head-to-head in an England Vs The Rest of The World football match in aid of UNICEF and its partners.

Date: 7th September 2008

Time: 7.30pm

Venue: Wembley Stadium

Tickets: Prices start from ONLY £5.00 Child/Concessions & £15 Adults.

Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp is stepping up to manage England with the help of Bryan Robson as his assistant. His squad includes football legends Jamie Redknapp, David Seaman and the mouth-watering prospect of re-uniting Euro 96’s strike pairing of Alan Shearer and Teddy Sheringham. Both will hope to show the New Wembley the same awareness and understanding that nearly resulted in European success 12 years ago.

Meanwhile, Liverpool legends Scot Kenny Dalglish and Wales’ very own Ian Rush will take charge of the Rest of the World and players hoping to make it into their starting line up include Jaap Stam, Peter Schmeichel and the exciting inclusion of Brazilian legend Romario and Italy’s Franco Baresi and Paulo Di-Canio.

Gordon Ramsay returns to captain Rest of the World, but Team England have a new skipper. Robbie Williams is passing on his captain’s armband, and the responsibility of deciding who will take his place is in the capable hands of manager Harry Redknapp.

As the originator of the Soccer Aid concept, Robbie is confident that again the match will be of huge benefit to UNICEF’s work around the world.

Robbie Williams says: "Being able to help so many people through Soccer Aid was one of the true highlights of my life. I’m gutted that this time round my knee isn’t up to it so unfortunately I’m out of the game. But I hope that everyone involved has the time of their life like I did, raises loads of money for UNICEF and that the best side wins.”

Each squad comprises of eleven celebrities and five World Cup greats. With less than a week for the players to train and bond before the big game, the pressure is on to get match fit and performance ready.

Soccer Aid is raising funds for UNICEF’s health, education and protection work with vulnerable children all over the world. UNICEF helps children to survive and thrive in more than 190 countries worldwide, working with partners to provide emergency support and long-term development solutions. UNICEF is funded entirely by voluntary contributions.
