SOCCER SCORERS
SOCCER AID is all about entertainment while raising money for charity - but celebrities thrive off hitting the back of the net and they'll get the chance to do it once again TONIGHT!
Premier League legends Teddy Sheringham and Alan Shearer have proved that they haven't lost their touch by bagging their fair share of goals during Soccer Aid matches.

Ex-Tottenham trio Jermain Defoe, Robbie Keane and Dimitar Berbatov have also got on the score sheet on a couple of occasions themselves.
But shockingly, one of the top scorers for Soccer Aid is NOT a former professional footballer.
Who is the top scorer in Soccer Aid history?
Kem Cetinay - five goals

Ex-Love Islander Kem Cetinay is the top goal scorer in Soccer Aid history.
Kem has bagged five goals in four Soccer Aid appearances after breaking the record in 2023.
Kem - who plays for the World XI - got his goal tally underway in 2019 in the 2-2 draw.
He scored again after the game went to penalties, but goals scored in a shootout do not count in the overall tally.
In 2020, Kem again blasted home a penalty in the shootout to hand victory to the World XI again.
In 2021, he scored twice in the 3-1 victory over England, and he added another goal in 2022, while again scoring from the spot during penalties.
