Actor Damson Idris has joked that Soccer Aid is his “redemption story” after missing out as a child on the chance to train with Sir David Beckham on Hot Shots.
The 34-year-old Londoner, known for the TV series Snowfall and the sport blockbuster F1: The Movie, will make his debut playing in the Soccer Aid charity football match for the England team.
The annual charity event, which will take place on May 31 at the London Stadium, will see a number of celebrity and footballing stars compete for either England or a World XI team to raise money for Unicef.
