Val4Gareth Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 A couple of chats with Gaz. He's not in the starting line-up, but they will all be playing before the end of the match according to Rednapp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdrop Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 They all look so excited and nervous, lol. Gareth's hand is still all strapped up. Poor thing. I doubt he'd notice any pain if he was playing - just way too exciting for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val4Gareth Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Can't believe they took him off again after he saved the one off the line. Thought he played very well. Perhaps it was because of his hand. Just had another text from Chris. It says in the program that Gareth played a set last night at his Mum's Graduation party Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowdrop Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 I think they just wanted to let everyone play, and perhaps Gareth's position was the best one for Tom to go onto. Gareth had a few very nice touches, including an excellent, and accoring to the commentator, a very accurate cross to Shearer. Unfortunately, I think the team were more comfortable going up the other side. I dare say they get themselves into a pattern, especially when they are not all very experienced, particularly with each other. And that's lovely about Gareth singing last night, and well done to Wendy on graduating too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggiemags Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Well, I thought that that was a really good match. Actually enjoyed I even when Gaz wasn't on the pitch and I'm no football fan. Some really great playing by Legends and Celebs alike. And when Gaz WAS on, he was, naturally, ace! Love him.

Snowdrop Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Great catch by Gaz of the cup. I'm not sure if he was more happy about being part of the winning team or that he didn't drop it in front of everyone. :hyper: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for me Maggie. I've watched professional games which weren't as good as that. I must say I thought young Danny from McFly was a really good player.

Khelda Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Good thing it went to his good hand, lol He was certainly happy, and a lovely moment him kissing the cup. Loved it. They all will have a great party tonight, I guess . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorksheather Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I enjoyed watching the match last night, even though I hate football and my tv is on the blink at the moment I thought Gareth did very well and it must have been an awesome experience for him .

Snowdrop Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 There isn't anything else worth seeing on The Sun site - I was just explaining that it wasn't the only photo used. I can't get on the T&A website. The link takes me to something entirely different for some reason. What does it say? :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khelda Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Here is the text Snowdrop for the T&A. Soccer Aid stars are victorious 10:35pm Sunday 7th September 2008 By Michael Black » Bradford stars Chris Fountain and Gareth Gates donned their national colours and played their part in a second glorious victory for England last night. They were part of an all-star celebrity line-up at Wembley who beat a Rest of the World team led by superstar chef Gordon Ramsay for Soccer Aid. And the England team ran out 4-3 winners on the night, with skipper actor and musician Jonathan Wilkes grabbing a late winner from a free kick just outside the penalty area. Thousands of fans watched the fund-raising event at Wembley which mingled established footballing stars with showbusiness names raising money for children’s charity Unicef and their work around the world. Wibsey lad and Hollyoaks star Chris came second in TV competition Dancing on Ice, also competing against Bradford-born singer Gareth Gates. But the two of them were united in the England side, with Chris starting the match up front, causing problems for the Rest of the World defence throughout the first half. Former Pop Idol runner-up Gareth was brought on in the second half and showed off his footballing skills to the delight of thousands of his fans in the crowd, some holding banners up with messages for him. Also featuring on the night was Keighley-born former Labour party spin doctor Alastair Campbell, who came on for the Rest of the World for the final few minutes, contributing to the great good humour of the event, organised by Gordon Ramsay and pop star Robbie Williams two years after the first Soccer Aid event. The event was first held at Old Trafford in 2006 and raised £2.6 million for the charity. Robbie Williams wasn’t able to play this time around because of a knee injury, and he said before the game: “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.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
