Even in our semi-permanent drunken states, we still get the warm fuzzies when we see ‘ballers making rounds at their local children’s hospitals to pass out gifts and meet the little ones. In Spain, teams will typically do this anytime between Christmas Eve and Three Kings Day (6th of January).
Gird your loins and enjoy the attack on your ovaries, Kickettes.
Manchester United hosted their annual United for Unicef charity gala at Old Trafford last night. Any guesses as to what has got the Da Silva twins cracking up? They’re laughing with us not at us since we still can’t tell them apart, right? Or is it because we’re going to call them Fabael until they start wearing name tags?
All of the above probably.
Ashley Cole, Jermain Defoe, Carlton Cole, Dion Dublin and Ian Walker were among players who appeared at the London Soccer Dome last night in support of the England Footballers Foundation’s inaugral ‘EFF Charity Cup’.
The event was a fundraiser for the EFF’s charity partners, which include Help For Heroes and Cancer Research UK. The players helped to manage the teams in the tourney, with players like Ashley Cole and Jermain Defoe expressing their gratitude for all the support and charitable contributions the event generated:
“It’s great to see so many come down to support our event. The legends are getting behind their teams and joining in the fun. It’s been great seeing Dion Dublin and Viv Anderson getting involved.” — Ashley Cole
“The squad are supporting H4H and Cancer Research UK, we would like to thank everyone involved for helping to raise more money and awareness for these causes.” — Jermain Defoe
Just so you guys don’t think we’re trying to pull the wool over your eyes, the EFF in particular is a cause one of our staffers is proud to have worked on as a lowly intern years ago. She encourages all Kickettes to read up on the foundation’s events and charities here.
