Paul Scholes Confronts The Vidic Vortex…
In the bizarrely legendary world of Soccer Aid, where ex-pros and celebs collide like overzealous puppies chasing a bewildered squirrel, our favorite ginger assassin, Paul Scholes, is set to go head-to-head with the Serbian human battering ram, Nemanja “The Vidic Vortex” Vidic! Once upon a red devilish time, Scholesy deemed Vidic a ‘lunatic,’ pondering if he had just spotted Bigfoot in his veggie patch. And now, they’ll clash at the Theatre of Dreams this Sunday in an epic showdown that even Aesop would call a tall tale!
As the nostalgic nostalgia machines whirr into life, Scholes will be kicking ballz with legends like Wayne “Roonaldo” Rooney, Michael “Carrick-on-swinging” Carrick, and the ever-staunch Gary “Safe Hands” Neville. Vidic, fresh from the lawless land of five-a-side where defenders think they’re No. 10 wizards, will team up with the World XI’s menagerie featuring the likes of John “Oh-no-Shea,” Carlos “Argentine Sizzle” Tevez and Edwin “Tall ‘n’ Tidy” van der Sar. But will Vidic’s tackling juggernaut style see him chasing Scholesy like a hurricane? Only the pitch will tell!
Expect sidesteps, laughs, perhaps a dance or two as footie fans across the UK grab a front-row seat to this candle-lit reunion on ITV1 and ITVX from 6pm. Let’s see if Vidic’s tales of spontaneous impressions of The Hulk come true, or if Scholes reveals a secret career as a lion tamer! So grab your popcorn, your inflatable hammers, and your “I Heart Unicef” tees, and prepare for football fiction at its finest! Match kicks off at 7:30pm. Who needs Hollywood when you’ve got Soccer Aid, am I right?
