Robbie Williams is supported by his wife Ayda Field at Soccer Aid
Robbie WIlliams was cheered on by his wife Ayda Field and their kids at Soccer Aid on Sunday.
The Rock DJ singer, 50, organises the the annual football match in aid of Unicef and looked smart as he took to the pitch ahead of kick off.
Robbie donned a blue suit and thick black glasses as he showed off his grey quaff and waved to his loving family.
Ayda joined Theo, 11, and five-year-old Coco in wearing matching green baseball jackets for the outing.
The Loose Women panellist swept her dark locks to one side and smiled at her husband from a distance.
In further snaps, the former Take That star – who also has son Charlie, nine, and Beau, 16 months, with Ayda – was seen chatting to England manager Frank Lampard.
Robbie co-founded Soccer Aid in 2006 with Jonathan Wilkes and the event aims to bring nations together to help raise money and awareness for children worldwide.
Some returning fan favourites to the game include Usain Bolt, and Tommy Fury whilst the squad has also been rejuvenated with fresh faces like Gladiators star ‘Diamond’ and Sam Thompson.
Other notable celebrities to feature include singer and actor Bobby Brazier, Danny Dyer, Paddy McGuinness, Martin Compston, as well as comedians Maisie Adams, Lee Mack and Jason Manford.
Former Lioness and I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here star Jill Scott is serving as the team’s captain.
Last year’s game which was hosted at Manchester United’s home stadium of Old Trafford, was the the most successful game on record, raising a record-breaking £14.6million.
Robbie – who has appeared in four Soccer Aid matches himself – has co-managed the England side in their quest for victory against the opposition World XI.
Having originally taken place every two years, it has been held annually since 2018.
The games have often tended to be tight affairs, and penalties have been required to separate the two teams on no fewer than five occasions.
Another shootout could cap off what promises to be a thrilling evening as sports stars and celebrities aim to prove they know their way around a football pitch.
But raising money for UNICEF remains the priority, and another record-breaking night could see Soccer Aid hit a huge landmark that would scarcely have been believable when it started almost two decades ago.
