London, May 28 (ANI): Famous Hollywood actors, pop stars and footie legends came together for a charity soccer match and helped raise 4million pounds for poor children.

Around 75,000 fans watched England beat the Rest of the World 3-1 at Old Trafford, Manchester in Soccer Aid.

The celebs playing in aid of Unicef include among others Will Ferrell, Mike Myers, Gerard Butler and Michael Sheen, the Sun reported.

Kasabian guitarist Sergio Pizzorno scored first for the Rest of the World with a spectacular chip over ex-England goalie David Seaman.

Gordon Ramsay was stretchered off after he got injured in a tackle with Teddy Sheringham.

Sheringham levelled the score before TV presenter Jonathan Wilkes, co-founder of Soccer Aid with best pal Robbie Williams, shot England into the lead.

Kevin Phillips rounded off England's 3-1 win.

Mark Owen, Olly Murs, Joe Calzaghe, JLSs Marvin Humes, Freddie Ljungberg, Jaap Stam and Hernan Crespo also took part.

The Government pledged to double the total raised through tickets and phone donations. (ANI)
