Another famous face from Emmerdale Joe-Warren Plant also featured. As well as the Emmerdale stars, the celebrity team included comedian Jason Manford and Blossoms singer Tom Ogden.
While the football legends side consisted of former Manchester United player Wes Brown as well as ex-Manchester City stars Shaun Goater and Paul Dickov along with former England international David Dunn and Matt Le Tissier. Lots of fans attended to support the charitable event.
Comedian Jason Manford, a Manchester City fan, posted on Twitter: “Wonderful to play @McrRemembers Football Match. Not only loads of fun and mental moments ‘Jase, mark Goater!’. But to remember those victims 5yrs on and to show the families that not only do we remember but that those lives mattered. Was a privilege to be involved.”
