enjoy, Laura. How is the weather today in London?

weather was perfect elisabeth -not too hot. 😃

we had great seats, the match was really entertaining - Joe Marler and Wayne Rooney especially.

Robbie looked great and as usual was having a great time and hopping up and down at every goal opportunity.

Brilliant night and amazing amount raised for charity,. ❤️

Do you agree that Robbie Williams doesn't get the credit he deserves for coming up with Soccer Aid, and that if there's a football/charity-related knighthood going, he should be first in line !

"I would like to see Robbie knighted. Robbie always shows up, and I don’t mean that just literally. Even if he isn’t playing, he brings that stardust quality. When he does something, he really commits to it, I saw that when I did The X Factor with him. We had Judges’ Houses round his house and normally they can’t wait to get rid of us, but Robbie is so committed and so focused – and the focus he has given UNICEF has been great. It would be lovely to see that recognised."

Great to be back after 10 years. I will have nightmares about having to mark Matic and Essien. Raised a record amount of money for @unicef and met a former resident of The Burbs! Such an amazing day. Thanks to everyone who came along and supported and to all of you who donated! 🙌🙏 @socceraid

Also got really excited when Tom Hanks walked on 😍

It really was a good match -one of my favourites -we had cheap seats (£32 that was all) but an excellent view, the match was really good and exciting, Joe Marler was so funny, Rooney was brilliant and I could see Robbie all night. Meeting and greeting people, At the end when England were receiving the trophy, he gave all the ROW team a hug and a thank you. He was everywhere. It really is his baby (plus Jonny too of course).

Also Tom Hiddlestone! What is there not to like?

Amazing amount of money raised. Can't wait for the next one. 😄

Soccer Aid co-founder Jonathan Wilkes joins Zeroo Degrees Spotlight, the series where we sit down with people at the top of their craft who have built their careers without a degree. From playing for Everton's youth team and building a career in television and West End theatre, to creating one of the world's biggest charity football events alongside his best mate Robbie Williams, Jonathan has spent his career backing himself and making things happen.

What started as an idea between two friends has now raised over £137 MILLION for UNICEF. In this conversation, Jonathan reveals the extraordinary story behind Soccer Aid. How he and Robbie came up with the idea while living together, the remarkable deal Robbie struck to convince Diego Maradona to play, and how they persuaded Gordon Ramsay, Ant & Dec and Manchester United to get involved. He recalls suddenly having 76,000 tickets to sell at Old Trafford, having "no bloody clue" how to organise it, the moment they feared Maradona wouldn't turn up, and the unforgettable night Jonathan scored the winning goal past Peter Schmeichel. And perhaps most remarkably, they thought it would only ever happen once

But this conversation goes far beyond football. Jonathan opens up about discovering he was dyslexic at 15, why confidence has been one of the most powerful tools throughout his career, and how learning to back himself opened doors he never imagined possible. He shares why creating Wilkes Academy, now home to 500 full-time performing arts students, has become one of his proudest achievements, why he believes human connection is something AI can never replace, and what working alongside people like Marco Pierre White and Stephen Mulhern has taught him. We also explore the importance of opportunity, whether university is always the right path, and why young people shouldn't be afraid to take a different route.
