There was an interesting comment from the commentator towards the end.
"Less than 1% viewers donated."
So according to T'internet it peaked at 3.9 million viewers. So 39, 000 people texted in. Call the average donation £20, which was the middle donation option. Texts would have raised £780,000
Tale out the costs of putting on the event, stewarding, production costs and those half time films of famous bloke going to Afocis to film the poor little kiddie winks, there's not much left for the charity after all that.
Don't think many watching had been to any sort of football match before which made a refreshing change. A group of know f*** all's as opposed to a group of know all's, as is the usual fair.
"Terry you useless blue c***" from a group of gooners at the end of the aisle didn't go down too well when the equaliser went in.
We had seats up in the gods. My mate thought Jamie Redknapp had started. He was the number 6 apparently. Running a bit sluggish we both thought. He's all over the shop. Maybe he took a knock in training? Wouldn't be the first time!
Turns out we were watching some fella from Casualty!!

Number 6 was a relative of mine haha. He's a bit bigger than casualty... but also his volley was a casualty. He was aiming to be a footballer and was given opportunities as a kid until he got in to acting when breaking a part of his body... But baring in mind he was called in to play late on due to other injured players and was one of the only players who barely trained with the squad.
Saw some comments about him on Twitter, and realized so many people took this charity game too seriously haha.

To be fair your relative, we genuinely thought he was Jamie Redknapp for a fair while. I'm not sure if that's a compliment or not?
I wasn't moaning mate. I also said his volley was a casualty... I don't care haha
Was just saying about the training thing, but I'm saying people were more serious on Twitter. Not mentioning you. But that's not just about Sam but about a lot of the players, I found it more a bit of fun. Would have preferred Piers Morgan to be done over thou!
Went with my daughter last night as fathers day gift. If you take it for what it is, it was a very enjoyable evening. Highlight of the evening was whilst changing at Green Park for the Jubilee line went past the busker as he was playing Just Cant Get Enough. Cue daughter and I belting out Lyle Taylor. As we were getting on the tube group of kids carrying on our good work

Tickets, advertising, other donation methods etc.
I think the total raised was nearly £7million
