Robbie's England boys are winners

ROBBIE Williams offered a glimmer of World Cup glory last night after his celebrity England team scored a 2-1 victory over a Rest of the Worldside in the Soccer Aid charity match.
Goals from former Spurs star Les Ferdinand and Robbie's TV presenter pal Jonathan Wilkes put England 2-0 up at half time and, despite a converted penalty by Argentine legend Diego Maradona in the second half, the home side held on. The Rest of the World struggled, with Scots chef Gordon Ramsay going eyeball-to-eyeball with Italian referee Pierluigi Collina in one incident.
When the game deteriorated to Sunday League standard, the record 71,962 Old Trafford crowd livened things up with a Mexican wave.
Afterwards, ex-Take That star Williams led his team - who included TV presenters Jamie Theakston and Angus Deayton and singer David Gray alongside former professional footballers - on a victory lap of the pitch and applauded when Wilkes was named Man of the Match.
Fan Paul Cherry, 30, from Catford, South-East London, said: "Hopefully it will be this easy in Germany this summer."
LOSING captain Gordon Ramsay has put down wife Tana - who has written her own new recipe book -saying she's like a Fiat in the kitchen while he is a Ferrari there.'
