Review

by Jack Seale

Fifty years of hurt… it’s half a century since England beat West Germany 4-2 in the 1966 World Cup final. How better to recapture that magic and boost the home nations’ spirits before the summer than with a celebrity football match?



Kelly Cates, Dave Farrar and Tony Dorigo are your commentators at Upton Park, as a German team led by Michael Ballack stands in the way of an England team that draws heavily on the Euro 96 semi-final side: Darren Anderton, Teddy Sheringham and Steve McManaman turn out, as well as Paul Scholes, Sol Campbell and the less cultured Jack Whitehall, Lee Mack and Russell Howard.
