WESTLIFE DUO STAR IN SOCCER AID 

 Westlife stars warmed up for their concert appearance at Ashton Gate on June 17th by making an appearance in Sunday's televised Socceraid game.

Irish duo Nicky Byrne and Shane Filan - one half of the best-selling quartet who will be playing live at Bristol City's home ground next Thursday - played alongside the likes of Zinedine Zidane and Ryan Giggs in the Rest Of The World team who beat an England XI on penalties.

Byrne (pictured next to Patrick Kielty and Gordon Ramsay) actually missed a spot-kick in the first half before Jamie Redknapp put the 'home' side ahead at Old Trafford shortly before half-time.

Alan Shearer and Teddy Sheringham linked-up well for the latter to head England 2-0 in front after the break. Boxing legend Joe Calzaghe pulled one back for the Rest of the World before Liverpool defender Sami Hyypia headed home a late Figo corner to level at 2-2.

The game - watched by 65,493 at Old Trafford and broadcast live on ITV - was eventually won 7-6 by the Rest of the World on penalties, with Filan making up for Byrne's earlier miss and American film star Woody Harrelson bagging the winning spot-kick.

The money raised will help UNICEF continue to provide long-term humanitarian and developmental assistance to children and mothers in developing countries. You can donate by visiting socceraid.unicef.org.uk.
