Special moments

“Soccer Aid for Unicef will be right up there in terms of creating special moments, which, after all, is why we love football so much.”

The 38-year-old who announced his retirement from international duty in 2012 will play under former national team coach, Sam Allardyce, during the welfare showdown.
