A team of celebrities got the better of a Bob Watson XI in charity football game last weekend and helped raise nearly £10,000 for charity.

The team of celebrities, including TOWIE star Kirk Norcross, actors Danny Dyer and Tamer Hussan and a host of ex footballers beat the Bob Watson XI 5-1.

Bob Watson dedicated his life to coaching young footballers, as well as looking after them as part of the Met Police force.

Mr Watson gave generously to childrens' charities throughout his life before he lost his battle with cancer earlier this year.

The game, held at the Metropolitan Police Sports Club in East Molesey, welcomed 1500 supporters, all of whom "went mad" for the celebs, according to Rob Watson.

Mr Watson, who set up the Bob Watson Foundation in memory of his father, said: "It was a quality day for everyone.  The celebrities were all really nice people."

"I was in goal for the Bob Watson XI, but I only let in four, I was out field when the other went in.  At one point on the pitch they had seven ex premiership footballers on the pitch so the result was not that surprising."

At the dinner event, a signed David Beckham shirt was auctioned off along with a signed pair of Lionel Messi football boots.
