Soccer Aid viewers complain about donation plea that 'feels so wrong'

Soccer Aid was a huge victory for celebrities on Sunday night (June 11), raising millions in a football match for charity. Usain Bolt's World XI team took the victory against Jill Scott’s England team at Old Trafford, with the World XI beating England 4-2.

However, whilst the match was successful, before it kicked off there were many viewers complaining to ITV about the fundraiser. As reported by the Mirror, the England team included retired former England players Gary Cahill and Jack Wilshere, who were playing alongside Manchester United legends like Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and Gary Neville.

Former captain Liam Payne, with Danny Dyer, Sex Education star Asa Butterfield and ex Tom Hiddleston also took the pitch to raise some money for UNICEF. Bolt’s team, World XI, was joined by Roberto Carlos, Nani, Francesco Totti and Gabriel Batistuta.
