Comics make the Soccer Aid squad

– and get to play at Old Trafford

Russell Howard, Joel Dommett, Lee Mack, Mo Gilligan and Tom Davis are to play football at Old Trafford, in the annual Soccer Aid fundraiser.

They will join the likes of Usain Bolt, Olly Murs and former Real Madrid star Roberto Carlos in the match on June 6.

Mack has taken part in the clash before, but all the other comics are making their debuts as Sam Allardyce’s England squad takes on Harry Redknapp’s World XI

The match will be broadcast live on ITV and STC, presented by Dermot O’Leary and Kirsty Gallagher.

It’s the ninth time the fixture has been held, raising money for Unicef.
