Soccer Aid — the brainchild of Robbie Williams — took place at Wembley Stadium yesterday, with the celebrity-filled teams taking to the pitch in a game that yielded seven goals. The England team were victorious, beating the Rest of World team four goals to three, partly due to a hamstring injury that caused ROW captain Gordon Ramsay to leave the pitch after about ten minutes. It was a family affair for Jamie and Louise Redknapp (who incidentally were first introduced to each other by Robbie) as Jamie played for England, his dad Harry managed the England team, and pregnant Louise reported from the edge of the pitch.

The ROW team added celebs Santiego Cabrera (Heroes), Gilles Marini (Samantha's lust object in the SATC movie), Brian McFadden, Nicky Byrne and Patrick Kielty to their handful of professional players. Whereas England gave man of the match Craig David, Tom Felton, Angus Deayton, Jonathan Wilkes, Ben Shephard, Jamie Theakston and McFly's Danny Jones a chance to play in a team with and against their footballing heroes.

Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly hosted the show, and introduced segments featuring Robbie (check out his interview under the jump), Orlando Bloom, Lucy Liu, Claudia Schiffer, David Beckham and their old SM:TV cohost Cat Deeley encouraging viewers to donate to Unicef. Proceeds from the tickets and calls from last night will also go to the charity.

    I found these celeb games weirdly entertaining (also, I'd completely forgotten about Craig David)!

    Oh, so THAT's what was going on. I caught a glimpse of this on tv yesterday but was confused as to what it was!
