Robbie Williams was the star of the show at Soccer Aid on Sunday, where he received enthusiastic support from his wife Ayda Field and their children. The 50-year-old Rock DJ singer, who organizes the annual football match to benefit Unicef, looked dapper as he took to the pitch ahead of kickoff. Robbie sported a blue suit and thick black glasses, showcasing his distinguished grey quiff while waving to his adoring family. Ayda, along with Theo, 11, and five-year-old Coco, looked stylish in matching green baseball jackets for the event. The Loose Women panellist swept her dark locks to one side and beamed at her husband from the stands.
Although Robbie and Ayda typically keep their children out of the spotlight, Teddy made her first public appearance in 2018 as a bridesmaid at Princess Beatrice’s wedding. Teddy left a lasting impression alongside Princess Charlotte and Mia Tindall, even famously asking Sarah Ferguson if she was the Queen. This occasion marked the first time Teddy’s face was photographed, as her parents have made a conscious effort to protect their children’s privacy. It was evident, though, that Teddy is Robbie’s spitting image, with her large brown eyes and dark brown hair.
Robbie co-founded Soccer Aid in 2006 with Jonathan Wilkes, aiming to unite nations to raise money and awareness for children globally. This year’s game featured returning fan favorites like Usain Bolt and Tommy Fury, along with new faces such as Gladiators star ‘Diamond’ and Sam Thompson. Other notable celebrities in the lineup included singer and actor Bobby Brazier, Danny Dyer, Paddy McGuinness, Martin Compston, and comedians Maisie Adams, Lee Mack, and Jason Manford. Former Lioness and I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! star Jill Scott served as the team’s captain. Last year’s match, held at Manchester United’s Old Trafford, was the most successful to date, raising a record-breaking £14.6 million.
Initially held every two years, Soccer Aid has been an annual event since 2018. The matches are often closely contested, with penalties needed to decide the winner on five occasions. As the latest game promises another thrilling contest, the ultimate goal remains raising funds for UNICEF. With the potential for another record-breaking night, Soccer Aid could achieve a monumental milestone, far surpassing the expectations set nearly two decades ago when it all began.
Robbie Williams continues to shine at Soccer Aid, not only showcasing his football skills but also his dedication to raising funds for children globally through UNICEF. With the support of his loving family and a lineup of celebrity teammates, Robbie’s efforts have helped make Soccer Aid one of the most successful charity events in the world of sports. Through his commitment to privacy for his children and his passion for philanthropy, Robbie Williams embodies the true spirit of giving back to those in need.
