Robbie Williams' football ambition

u.tv

 

Pop star Robbie Williams has revealed he would rather be a footballer than a singer.

The Stoke-on-Trent-born musician admits choosing the wrong career on a television chat show.

 

Williams appears with ex-England coach Terry Venables on the Friday Night With Jonathan Ross programme to talk about their forthcoming involvement in Soccer Aid.

 

Port Vale fan Robbie captains the England team, which is managed by Venables.

 

Williams said: "I love football, I`m so passionate about it, I`d rather be a footballer than a singer."

 

But he admitted being unable to match the fitness of his opposing captain, Gordon Ramsay, who leads the Rest of the World team, managed by former Chelsea and Newcastle United boss Ruud Gullit.

 

"I was shamed into starting the training," the singer said.

 

"I`d been out on a late one, switched the TV on to see Gordon Ramsay finishing the marathon. He`s really competitive, a great fella, I want to be him."

 

Venables, on the other hand, talked about his ambitions to be a singer.

 

He told the host: "I`d like to have been a singer, I sang with Joe Loss (but) they`d say, stick to the football."

 

Getting so excited about this. :cheer:

First programme Monday night is that correct? :unsure:

Yep ^_^

 

I also can't wait :)

Signed up too, although I already subscribe and support UNICEF. Thanks Rock DJ

 

Note to self, get some video tapes in, there is an awful lot of recording to do next week. LOL. wasn't he just gorgeous on Jonathon Ross..handsome or what. :heart:

 

Do you think he knows that he has so much sex appeal. :wub:

He must know Susie - he simply oozes sex appeal! :wub:

 

Funny how 3 of my fav men support Unicef - Robbie, Beckham and Ewan :P

 

I had to make a trip to Woolworths today Susie to buy more blank tapes for Soccer Aid lol! I'm starting to wish I had a dvd recorder now - so much more compact to store!

Well not so many places do tapes anymore, goodness knows what I will do with my Rob library when they not longer sell VCR's. I suppose I could have them transferred to DVD. :mellow:

Thanks Rock Dj

 

I am really looking forward to it now :dance:

I have two DVD recoreders :o due to impulse buying of one that was a 'mangers special' with a freeview tuner when particulalry annoyed with Sky earlier this year :blink: Does mean I can do DVD to DVD transfers though (technologically illiterate - can't the the hang of these computer things for that).

 

They will both be put to good use over the next week though :D except I've just realised my blank DVD stock is running low :cry:

 

Lots of great pictures appearing already :) This time next week I will be in Manchester, and it will all be over - can't believe it has come round so soon.

I noticed in my TV mag today that as well as the ITV1 progs there's also extra progs on ITV2. :cheer:
