The Match on Sky One was a brilliant show and idea.
Best described as a sort of Celeb Big Brother crossed with football.
The idea was basically take a load of celebrities and train them for 1 week and see if they beat a team full of legends. The legends included some of the best players England has ever seen including Gazza, Bryan Robson and Peter Beardsley. The celebs included Ralf Little, Jonathan Wilkes and Gary Lucy.
The final match was on last night and it finished 2-1 to the legends. Nearly everyone was expecting the legends to thrash the celebs but they did really well and just won with a last minute goal in injury time. Jonathan Wilkes scored a brilliant goal (a 30 yard lob) – it may have been a fluke but still … It was all pretty exciting and the celebs did really well. Some of the celebs have had trials with teams including Harvey who currently plays semi-professional and Jonathan Wilkes who had trails with Everton. Ralf Little was man of the match and was pretty impressive. To be honest I think they were the better team.
I think its likely that there will be The Match 2 with other celebrities because its been really successful and its raised loads for charity. Robbie Williams has already said he would do it – I reckon Ant and Dec would want to do it also.
