Farrell stockist House of Fraser has been busy raising money for Soccer Aid over the last few weeks and, if you stopped by one of the ten stores stocking Robbie's menswear label recently, you'll have no doubt seen the collection boxes. Thanks to all their customers giving generously, the department store raised a significant amount of cash ahead of the big game yesterday, contributing to to the Soccer Aid proceeds which go to children's charity UNICEF.
Before he headed off to Old Trafford to throw on his footy kit last night, Robbie dropped by Manchester's House of Fraser to pick up a cheque on behalf of UNICEF. Take a look at the photo below which sees him pictured with the Farrell staff.
Thanks to everyone who donated their spare change in store, every penny counts towards supporting UNICEF and, with your help, they can make a change to the children around the world.


England Victorious At Soccer Aid

England Victorious At Soccer Aid

http://www.robbiewilliams.com/news-blogs/england-victorious-at-soccer-aid

 
 Last night saw the fourth Soccer Aid take place at Manchester’s Old Trafford and it was another huge success both on and off the pitch. By the final whistle England had their hands on the cup with a 3-1 victory and the total figure pledged by viewers alone had already reached £2million, and with the UK government matching donations pound for pound, it immediately shot up to £4million. Stay tuned for the final figure! 



With almost 70,000 fans turning out to cheer on their heroes, it was an exciting night of football. Kasabian’s Sergio Pizzorno, who was later awarded Man Of The Match, knocked in a wonderful first half goal, but the England team hit home no less than three in the second half, with goals from Teddy Sheringham, Jonathan Wilkes and Kevin Phillips, to clinch a well deserved victory.


Robbie had said in his Mexico City diary that he wanted to add some “66 style passion to the pitch”, this was certainly the case when the boys smashed in three goals!
Soccer Aid might be over but you can continue to help UNICEF to save children’s lives; your support provides food, vaccines and other life-saving supplies to children around the world who desperately need it, all To find out more about how the money raised by yesterday’s event will be used and why Soccer Aid is so important follow Unicef UK on Facebook and Twitter.


Thanks to everyone who contributed to Soccer Aid 2012 and for making it such a huge success!

Robbie Admits He Wants To See Footballers Naked

Robbie Williams Admits He Wants To See Footballers Naked

Robbie Williams has been busy helping with Soccer Aid this year, although it seems his intentions were not as honourable as we first imagined...
“It’s amazing – you get to see them naked!"
The singer, who is expecting his first child later this year, explained to The Sun that he's very excited to be involved in this year's charity football tournament.
And he joked that the real reason he's doing it is because he wants to share a shower with David Seaman!
Oh Robbie...
The singer also cheekily added that, should his team for the UNICEF match start to flag, he'd be happy to give them a rub-down at half time:
“My pep talk will be a lot of massaging of the shoulders and massaging of the egos – as well as a few swear words thrown in.”
We bet David Seaman, Mark Owen, Marvin Humes, Olly Murs and the rest of the England team are happy to hear that!
We're actually pretty excited to see the UK boys go head-to-head with the likes of Gerard Butler, Will Ferrell and Mike Myers later.
They're hoping to raise £10 million for UNICEF, so at least the beautiful game is being played for a good cause.
You can support UNICEF and help children around the world by watching the game live on ITV1 from 6pm or making a donation.
And, thanks to the UK Government, all donations to Soccer Aid will now be matched pound for pound - fingers crossed they meet their (ahem) goal!

Robbie Williams and the team get some training in before the big match...


Robbie and Paddy training...

Pride, happiness, victory and excitement ...

England: 3  The Rest of the World: 1

http://www.entertainmentwise.com/news/76858/PHOTOS-Robbie-Williams-Leads-The-England-Team-To-Victory-At-Soccer-Aid-2012



 
Robbie Williams was amongst the winning team during yesterdays (May 27) Soccer Aid 2012 match. The side was led by the Take That singer, beating a team of Hollywood A-Listers and football legends 3-1 in the fourth Soccer Aid match, held at Man United's Old Trafford.
The match saw the England team play the 'rest of the world' team - the 'rest of the world' team included actors Will Ferrell, Edward Norton and Michael Sheen, along with Michael Myers and Gerard Butler, whereas players on the England team included comedians John Bishop and Paddy McGuiness and singers Olly Murs, JLS and Mark Owen, alongside team captain Robbie Williams.
The match raised an incredible £6.5million through ticket sales and donations alone, with all profits going to Unicef's work helping children across the globe.
All players looked like they were having a great time - despite the heat! And the heat may have meant that Robbie got his wish granted, as he was planning on catching many a Soccer Aid star in the nude...
The star told The Sun: “It’s amazing – you get to see them naked!"
He then added: “My pep talk will be a lot of massaging of the shoulders and massaging of the egos – as well as a few swear words thrown in.”
Wonder how many massages were being thrown around yesterday?!
All in all, a job well done boys...

Read about Robbie’s recent UNICEF trip to Mexico in his three day diary below.
Get an insight to into why Robbie particularly wanted to visit Mexico on this UNICEF trip and read his first hand account of what happened when he visited the slums and met the children and their parents living there.
Find out how he’s hoping to bring some 1966 English World Cup passion to the footy game at Old Trafford this Sunday, how he’s looking forward to beating the Rest of the World team and, with your help, raising loads of money for Soccer Aid 2012. 

DONATE TO SOCCER AID

Day one
I’ve played in Mexico in the past and it’s always been a place that I’ve wanted to know more about and go back to with UNICEF.
Being a UNICEF Ambassador I’ve been privileged to meet some of the children Soccer Aid has helped; children orphaned by AIDS in South Africa, those affected by the terrible earthquake in Haiti in 2010 and now some of Mexico City’s most vulnerable children.
I feel a bit apprehensive once touching down. It's always a bit tense on arrival into these locations, you want to do a good job but it’s sometimes really hard to see how tough the children have it. Johnny is with me and it will be good to share this with him when he’s put so much into Soccer Aid.

Day two
First off I meet a mum called Aidee who has come back to show us where she and her children were living on the streets in the centre of the city. Two of her children, Hanna 10 and Josue 5, are here too. It’s hard for them and I try and make them laugh a bit with help from our translator. I wish I spoke Spanish, every year I plan to learn, but it hasn't happened yet!
They walk me down a really busy road with lots of makeshift tents and old furniture all over the place. There’s a little boy kind of weaving into the road and I want to run over and pull him away from the cars. Hanna shows us the shack where she used to live. Everywhere stinks of glue.

There are drug addicts wondering around off their heads, seeing them near the kids is really bad; it’s absolutely no place for a child. There are no toilets, no clean water. 
One little boy is Ricardo, almost 2. His mum, Augustina, comes over and in her arms is a tiny baby, only one month old. I can’t believe a newborn is living in this place. Johnny and I feel quite desperate leaving here. You always feel you want to do more, to do something right there and then. You can’t help but get overwhelmed and I feel like its affecting me even more this year with the little one in Ayda’s tummy.

Day Three
We spend today in big slums in Itzapalapa meeting lots of children in living in extreme poverty. One little girl Kimberley is only a year and a half. She and her five brothers and sisters live in shacks on the side of the road. There is lots of rubbish everywhere, the smell is terrible. The kids are all vulnerable to being bitten by rats and getting diseases. It feels edgy for us so we were really worried for their safety. The kids are so small and young and you just want to protect them.
We leave this part of the city and head south. We stop at a huge crossroads and I meet Angel, 5, and Lluvia, 3, who are playing in the dirt. Their parents come here every day to wash windscreens to try and make enough money to feed the children. But they’re not safe here as people have tried to buy or kidnap the children a few times. It’s absolutely shocking.
Angel and I had a kick about too. The kids have no idea who I am, but usually if you bring a ball and invent some sort of game, they are happy to play and laugh. I love that bit, any initial nerves that you feel on arrival always go away once you are around the kids. I can’t wait to play with my own.
I think about how when I become a dad my child will be safe and protected and Soccer Aid seems more important than ever. There are children just like Angel and Lluvia living all over the world who need our help.

We head off to a shelter, where Hanna and Josue and their brothers are now living. It’s really basic but it’s a world away from the terrible place we met them yesterday.
Here, you can see they are safe, away from kidnappers and violence. They have water and toilets and food to eat. The head of the shelter tells me how UNICEF is working with the government to make sure children like Hanna are protected at shelters like these so they can have healthy and safe lives.
All this has really hammered home how dangerous the world can be for a child. I just have to remember we’re doing our bit and it’s an honour to meet these children.
Johnny and I leave ready to play some serious football in Soccer Aid. We want to smash the Rest of the World, and Johnny, Mark, I and the rest of the boys will definitely be bringing some ’66 style passion to the pitch.
But we’ll also be thinking about the children living really tough lives all around the world. Because Soccer Aid is really all about helping UNICEF help them. Seeing the money that’s been raised from mine and Johnny’s simple idea, gets you more excited every year. Whether it’s for children in Mexico, Haiti or Africa, it feels really good to know that we can all play our part in helping those less fortunate than ourselves.

''I can’t believe a newborn baby lives in this place. It’s affecting me even more with the little one
in my wife’s tummy.'' Robbie Said


(Robbie said reading, Silently drops running down. children need us. Please, do whatever comes to your hand. Think of the children. I think of them every day. be a good person, a part of helping those in need. Put your hands in your heart. Think of them only once. do something for them!)

Moving moments ... father-to-be Robbie Williams with baby Kimberley in her babygrow
 

DAD-TO-BE Robbie Williams has been humbled by meeting some of the world’s poorest children.

He went to the slums of Mexico City to see how part of the £7.5million so far raised by Unicef-backed footie tourney Soccer Aid has been spent.
This year’s event, the fourth since it was dreamed up by Robbie and pal Jonathan Wilkes in 2004, is on Sunday at Old Trafford.
Players include Mark Owen, Olly Murs, Sun columnist Roy Keane, Gordon Ramsay and James McAvoy.
Robbie, whose wife Ayda Field is expecting their first child, was left brimming with emotion after his trip. Here, he shares his moving diary with Sun readers.

I’VE performed in Mexico in the past and it’s always been a place I’ve wanted to know more about and go back to with Unicef.
Being a Unicef Ambassador I’ve been privileged to meet some of the children Soccer Aid has helped: Children orphaned by Aids in South Africa, those affected by the terrible earthquake in Haiti in 2010 — and now some of Mexico City’s most vulnerable little ones.

Take That Win At The Ivor Novello Awards!

Take That Win At The Ivor Novello Awards


It was a big day for Take That yesterday as Robbie, Gary, Mark, Howard and Jason took home the PRS For Music Outstanding Contribution to British Music award at the prestigious Ivor Novellos. The annual event, which celebrates and honours the finest songwriters in Britain, took place at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.
The boys also received a second nomination for their hit single The Flood, but lost out to tough competition from Adele’s Rolling In The Deep.

Robbie is the very talented!

Robbie And Jonny Keep It Up For Soccer Aid

 

A head of Soccer Aid, Robbie and Jonny recently visited  Mexico City with UNICEF to make a short film raising awareness of how Soccer Aid helps children all around the world. The footage will be shown on ITV1 during the big game on 27th May.

Live at Knebworth-Come Undone

Watch A Lucky Girl!


So unimpressed, but so in awe
Such a saint, but such a whore
So self-aware, so full of shit
So indecisive, so adamant
I'm contemplating, thinkin' about thinkin'
It's overrated, just get another drink and

Watch me come undone
They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street
I pray when I'm coming down, you'll be asleep
If I ever hurt you, your revenge will be so sweet
Because I'm scum, and I'm your son
I come undone
I come undone

So rock 'n' roll, so corporate suit
So damn ugly, so damn cute
So well-trained, so animal
So need your love, so fuck you all
I'm not scared of dying, I just don't want to
If I stop lying, I'll just disappoint you

Come undone
They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street
Come undone
I pray when I'm coming down, you'll be asleep
Come undone
If I ever hurt you, your revenge will be so sweet
Because I'm scum, and I'm your son
I come undone

So write another ballad, mix it on a Wednesday
Sell it on a Thursday buy a yacht on Saturday
It's a love song, a love song
Do another interview, sing a bunch of lies
Tell about celebrities that I despise
And sing love songs, we sing love songs so sincere

So sincere

Come undone
They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street
Come undone
I pray when I'm coming down, you'll be asleep
Come undone
The young pretend you're in the clouds above the sea
I come undone
I am scum
Love your son
You've gotta love your son
Come undone
You've gotta love you son
Come undone

Love your son
I am scum
I am scum
I am scum
I am scum
I am scum

Edward Norton And Woody Harrelson Sign Up To Soccer Aid 2012

Edward Norton And Woody Harrelson Sign Up To Soccer Aid 2012

http://www.robbiewilliams.com/news-blogs/edward-norton-and-woody-harrelson-sign-to-soccer-aid-2012

Last week we announced that Serge Pizzorno would be joining the Rest of the World squad for Soccer Aid 2012. This week we have yet more superstar names confirmed to take part in the big game at Old Trafford...
Actor Woody Harrelson returns to the Rest of the World team alongside newcomer, actor, filmmaker, and UN Goodwill Ambassador for Biodiversity Edward Norton
"As far as chances to have fun while doing something that helps other people...it doesn't get much better than this,"  said Edward, talking about taking part in Soccer Aid 2012.
Anyone watching in 2010 will know that Woody scored the winning penalty during the game, securing the trophy for the Rest of the World team for the first time in the tournament’s history and he'll be hoping for victory once again at Old Trafford.
Scoring the winning goal at Old Trafford in 2010 was probably the highlight of a pretty great life," said Woody Harrelson. "Granted, I instantly became the least popular man in England, but they loved me in Ireland.  It was great to be a part of the Rest of the World’s first victory against the English team, I can't wait to see what happens this time!”
Joining Woody and Edward in the Rest of the World team will be four-time Champions League winner, Dutch international and current AC Milan midfielder Clarence Seedorf.

Robbie Williams to sing
at his dad’s wedding


http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/4298821/Robbie-Williams-may-sing-at-his-dads-wedding.html

ROBBIE Williams is expected to sing at his dad’s wedding — to a woman the same age as the Take That star.

Divorcee Pete Conway, 64, wants his 38-year-old son to perform at the celebrations when he weds Melanie Mills, also 38.
Club singer Pete — who produced a ring and proposed during a recent romantic trip to Malta — said yesterday: “Robbie is so, so pleased for me.
“Melanie and I have been together for over two years so we thought we’d get engaged.
“The next thing is to plan the marriage. When it happens Robbie might sing, wouldn’t that be lovely. We’ve got to all get together and plan it.” He added: “I will see Rob next week and we’ll have a little celebration.”

Pete got to know South African-born Melanie through the Donna Louise Trust, of which his son is a patron.

Melanie is head of fundraising for the charity, which provides hospice and other care for terminally-ill children in Robbie’s home city of Stoke-on-Trent.
Pete, who got divorced when Robbie was three, was at the star’s wedding to actress Ayda Field in Los Angeles in 2010.
The couple are now expecting their first child and Pete added: “With the engagement and the baby we are having a lovely family year.”

Kasabian's Serge Rocks Up For Soccer Aid 2012

Kasabian's Serge Rocks Up For Soccer Aid 2012

http://www.robbiewilliams.com/news-blogs/kasabians-serge-rocks-for-soccer-aid-2012

 
There are just over three weeks to go until Soccer Aid hits Old Trafford and there are still some huge names to be announced. The latest megastar to be confirmed Sergio Pizzorno from the mighty rock band, Kasabian.
Serge had originally dreamt of being a footballer when he was younger, but his plans soon changed when his careers adviser disagreed: "I told my careers adviser I wanted to be centre forward for Leicester City. When he said 'No' I thought I'd be in a rock 'n' roll band." It's time for him to swap his guitar for football boots and sell out arenas for the Theatre of Dreams to help raise money for UNICEF!
He joins the Rest of the World team, captained by Welsh actor Michael Sheen, alongside Will Ferrell, Gerard Butler, Mike Myers, James McAvoy, Patrick Kielty and Gordon Ramsay with ex Manchester United players Edwin van der Sar, Roy Keane, Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Jaap Stam. The team will be managed by legendary Scot, Kenny Dalglish.
The formidable England team will be captained by Robbie Williams, with Jason Isaacs, Mark Owen, Marvin Humes, Aston Merrygold, Olly Murs, John Bishop, Jonathan Wilkes, Ben Shephard, Jamie Theakston and Paddy McGuinness. Football heroes Teddy Sheringham, David Seaman and Martin Keown will complete the squad. For the first time Bradley Walsh takes on the role as Coach with Jamie Redknapp assistant managing.

Keep It Up For Soccer Aid

Robbie Williams in Haiti holding a football
12 Apr 2010
In the run up to Soccer Aid 2010, the man behind the it all, Robbie Williams, is setting you a challenge: to help the world’s poorest children and Keep it Up for Soccer Aid.
Returning from a visit to Haiti with UNICEF, where he made an appeal film which will be shown in full during the Soccer Aid match on Sunday 6 June, Robbie, a UNICEF UK Ambassador, said:

“Everyone knows I’m a massive football fan, and now I’m asking everyone to join Keep it Up for Soccer Aid. It’s really simple: do as many sponsored keepy uppys as you can and raise bucket loads of money to help make a real difference to the lives of kids all over the world, including the fantastic young people that I met in Haiti.”

Watch the video below in which Robbie introduces Keep It Up For Soccer Aid from Haiti



So, what is a 'keepy-uppy'?

Keepy-uppy is the skill of using your feet, legs, knees, chest, shoulders and head to juggle a ball without allowing it to hit the ground. It's not easy, but it's a lot of fun trying! Check out Robbie below.

Don’t worry if football skills aren’t your thing. Whether you’re a beginner, a pro or have two left feet there’s a Keep it Up for Soccer Aid challenge for you. Choose your challenge today - scroll down for some ideas we've put together to get the ball rolling!

Raise over £50 and you could be at Soccer Aid as a VIP!

Raise at least £50 and send your money in to UNICEF by Monday 31 May and you will be put into the draw to win a VIP Soccer Aid experience, including the chance to meet the players at their training session in London and a trip to Old Trafford to watch the match at the Theatre Of Dreams.

Don't forget to capture your historic moment of perfecting your keepy-uppys on camera - whether you take photos or shoot a short video, we want to see it all!
You can add your photos and videos to both RobbieWilliams.com (just log in to add them to your profile) and to SoccerAid.org.uk.

Choose your challenge


There’s a Keep it Up for Soccer Aid challenge for everyone - whether you're a rising football star, or you can't tell your off-side from your backside. We've got the ball rolling with a few ideas for you to choose from below, or of course you can think up your own new and unique challenge. Once you're decided what your challenge will be, register it online at Soccer Aid's website.
 

For the pros (think Pele, Maradona, Beckham!)

1. Take on Robbie Williams’ challenge and set yourself a difficult keepy-uppy goal.
2. Make the challenge even harder by using a tennis ball!
3. Try to do as many keepy-uppys as you can blindfolded.
4. Practice for the World Cup and shoot sponsored penalties too.
5. Challenge yourself to an hour of keepy-uppys.
 

For the beginners (think Brooklyn Beckham, Kai Rooney!)

Challenge your friends or colleagues to Keep it Up for Soccer Aid and set yourself a fundraising target.
1. Organise the biggest keepy-uppy event your town has ever seen.
2. Do keepy-uppys in fancy dress.
3. Dribble a football from home to school or work.
4. Have a keepy-uppy competition at work with colleagues and charge an entry fee to help you reach your target.
5. Try keepy-uppys with a balloon.
6. Set a realistic target like five or ten keepy uppys in a row and get practising.
 

Keep it Up for everyone

If you aren’t a keepy-uppy pro or have two left feet there are lots of ways that you can get involved, get fit and raise funds. Why not set yourself a challenge by making a healthy living pledge and Keep it Up for Soccer Aid.
1. Give up chocolate / TV / alcohol for 6 weeks and keep it up!
2. Keep up walking, running or cycling to school or work for a whole month.
Remember to register your challenge online at www.socceraid.org.uk/keepitup.
When you register for Soccer Aid 2010, UNICEF UK will send you a t-shirt and fundraising pack to help you get started with your chosen challenge.

We want to see you - grab your camera!

Whether you’ve dressed up as a doughnut, done four thousand keepy-uppys or got your whole school or workplace involved, we want to see what you’ve been up to.

  • I'm very humbled to receive another award yet again.

The supermodel girlfriend turned out to be anorexic and decided to be lesbian, I couldn't keep up with the mortgage repayments on three houses, so I'm living in a caravan.
