At the Soccer Aid charity event, Robbie Williams and the footballers collected money for Unicef. Two of his own children were also there.
On Sunday, Robbie Williams (50) once again invited people to the Soccer Aid charity match, with which he and the participants have been collecting money for the United Nations Children’s Fund since 2006. This time, the match at London’s Stamford Bridge raised 15 million pounds (around 17.7 million euros) for Unicef. They also mentioned the total amount of 100 million pounds (around 118 million euros) since the start of the series of events.
Former professional footballers, celebrities and Usain Bolt
Once again, former football professionals and celebrities came together to form a team called “England” and the international team “World XI”. Former footballers Theo Walcott, Jermain Defoe, Joe Cole, Jill Scott and Jack Wilshere played for “England”, as did British boxing promoter Eddie Hearn as a celebrity.
The “World XI” camp included Eden Hazard, Patrice Evra and Michael Essien as well as former Jamaican sprint star Usain Bolt (37).
Family support for Robbie Williams
Event organizer Robbie Williams had his own small private fan club with him. His wife Ayda Field (45) and their children Theo (11) and Coco (5) cheered him and the teams on from the stands. When he entered the field before kickoff wearing a blue suit and thick black glasses, he waved lovingly to his family – all three of them wearing the same green baseball jacket. His two other children, Charlie (9) and Beau (16 months), were not there.
In further snapshots, the former Take That star could be seen talking to England coach Frank Lampard (45).
Robbie founded Soccer Aid in 2006 with Jonathan Wilkes. The event aims to bring nations together to raise money and awareness for children worldwide. The soccer match was originally intended to be held every two years, but since 2018 it has been held annually.
