Comedian forced to release statement and video proving he DID nutmeg ex-Man Utd star in charity match
COMEDIAN Vittorio Angelone has released a hilarious statement after nutmegging a Manchester United legend in a charity match. The Italian-Irish comic swapped stand-up for the pitch as a team of Premier League icons faced celebrity side Tea With Me FC in Belfast on Saturday. Ryan Giggs, Dimitar Berbatov, Karel Poborsky, Jermaine Pennant and Stiliyan Petrov were just some of the legends in action. But Angelone stole the show by incredibly popping the ball through Berbatov 's legs. The comedian got the ball deep in midfield and baited the two-time Premier League champion towards him before producing a clever nutmeg. Angelone then quickly passed to a team-mate and did his best Alan Shearer impression, running off in celebration with his arm aloft. Berbatov was seen laughing as ex- Liverpool man Jason McAteer gave the comedian a high-five. Angelone released a hilariously statement on social media after the match, saying: "Just want to get ahead of the rumours here. Earlier today I played in a charity football match against a Premier League legends team. "A lot of people are claiming that I did not nutmeg Dimitar Berbatov, these people are nasty characters and should not be trusted. "My team and I are working tirelessly to get the footage from multiple angles. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS "Please respect mine and my family's privacy at this time." In a later upload before posting the video, Angelone wrote: "We have the footage. They tried to silence me but the truth will come out." Ruben Amorim vows 'good days are coming' after 'disaster season' as Man Utd flops give him daggers during public apology Fans found it hilarious, with one saying: "Celebrated like you won the World Cup brother. Fair play." Another added: "Should've just walked off the pitch after that." A third commented: "I cannot express to you how jealous I am right now." Ahead of his Edinburgh Fringe appearance, more said: "Before you ask, yes, it's too late to change the Fringe show name to I Nutmegged Berbatov." 3

Charity football match to be held in memory of 'very special' coach
A grassroots football club near Carlisle is set to hold a charity match in memory of a 'very special' coach. Warwick Wanderers AFC, who are based at Warwick Bridge's Downagate, will host the charity match in aid of the British Heart Foundation on Sunday, May 25. The match will also be held in memory of former youth coach Kevin Graham, who sadly passed away in September 2022. In his memory, former Warwick Wanderers players will take on Warwick Wanderers coaches. Dan Percival is one of the former Warwick Wanderers players who will be taking part in the charity match and explained more about its aims. He said: "We were all young lads from the local area playing for the Warwick Wanderers Under 12s, and Kevin coached us all the way up to the senior level before we disbanded. "Unfortunately, Kevin passed away after a heart attack. "It should be a good event with some good football, we'll have a laugh, and try and raise some awareness for the British Heart Foundation, as well as keeping Kevin's memory alive. Kevin's family are also set to be involved in the charity match, including his son Lee, who has set up a JustGiving page ahead of the event to try and raise funds for the British Heart Foundation in his father's memory. At the time of writing, the JustGiving page has raised £190. He said: "We're coming together at Downagate to celebrate the life of a very special man — Kevin Graham. "A loving husband, father, grandad, and a dedicated coach, Kev gave over 15 years to Warwick Wanderers, guiding the same group of lads from U16s with unwavering passion, patience, and pride. If you would like to donate to Lee's JustGiving page, you can HERE

Goals 4 GOSH highlight their mission on the website where it reads: "Our mission is to use the power of football to raise awareness of G.O.S.H's incredible work and help fund the vital research, equipment, and facilities that are needed to treat critically ill children. "An incredible charity that is unquestionably close to all our hearts. Us as the organisers, many people within the community and players representing both sets of teams, have either had family members or friends who have been under the treatment and care at Great Ormond Street Hospital." "At the height of the pandemic, guidelines and restrictions meant that over the last few years there were large periods of time where only one person was allowed to be with a child whilst they were being cared for at Great Ormond Street Hospital. "There were even occasions where no one could enter certain wards at the hospital. This did not stop the level of care and service any children received. The NHS staff were not only doctors and nurses but parents, grandparents, siblings and friends, serving love and companionship to the children in their care. For this, we are unconditionally grateful."
