How did charity football survive before John Bishop, Gordon Ramsey, Robbie Williams and Robbie Williams mate Jonathon whatshisface? Before that there was only Dennis Waterman who was famous and liked playing football.

Des O'Connor, Brucie,and David Frost all played regularly for the Showbiz Eleven in the sixties.

I think Frost played as late as the eighties and I am sure I read somewhere Des could have been a pro in his younger days. But Brucie? Really? Good footwork I suppose. Actually I'm guessing good game, good game all round.
I think Des was on Northampton Town's books. I hope I'm wrong, I wouldn't be proud of knowing that as a fact

Yes, that rang a bell with me. I think Rod Stewart and Bradley Walsh were both at Brentford.
