Soccer Aid 2014 had many brilliant moments. Westlife's Nicky Byrne's delightful chipped goal. Jonathan Wilkes and Edgar Davids getting stuck in. Jamie Redknapp's stonking 30-yarder. However, one moment topped the lot.
Watch the moment below when the Rest of the World's manager Jose Mourinho decided to get in on the action himself and take out popstar and England striker Olly Murs.
The X Factor singer was left tumbling on the turf, while Mourinho scuttled back to his dug-out with a cheeky grin on his face.
70,000 fans watched Robbie Williams and Sam Allardyce's England take on the Rest of the World at Old Trafford yesterday (June 8).
The game, which aired on ITV, ended with a 4-2 victory for Mourinho's Rest of the World.
Other celebrities taking part in the game included Marvin Humes from Jls, Mark Owen, Gordon Ramsay, James McAvoy and Jack Whitehall.
The event helped raise £4.2 million for Unicef.

You knew it was only a matter of time. After Netflix scored with original programming like "Orange Is the New Black" and "Arrested Development," Amazon quickly jumped into the game -- and now Xbox is, too. Pretty soon, look forward to new shows from your microwave and blender. Xbox will launch Xbox: Originals this June with 12 projects. They will be available on Xbox 360, Xbox One, and other Microsoft devices, and, of course, the shows will offer "interactive capabilities." To prove they're not kidding around, Xbox Entertainment Studios has attracted names like Steven Spielberg and Ridley Scott, who are attached to two separate scripted projects based on the “Halo” franchise. Because hey, you can never get enough "Halo." Other shows in production include an unscripted series about international street soccer, an original drama about robotic servants in a dystopian world, and a documentary about the search for discarded Atari games in...

Appearing at NewFronts today, Microsoft revealed more of its planned move into the home broadcasting and VOD arena with the announcement (or re-announcement) of around a dozen original television programs set to be broadcast exclusively to owners of its devices through Xbox One and Xbox 360 consoles.
Collectively referred to as Xbox Originals, the collection includes documentaries, reality shows, scripted dramas and comedies which are being developed by Xbox Entertainment Studios.
Xbox Entertainment Studios President Nancy Tellem says: "We're really focused on the fans of the Xbox, the millennials... many of whom are not subscribing to cable, and use a console as their entertainment device."
Unsurprisingly the new programming is primarily targeted at young male consumers into gaming, but they are also making a play for the non-gaming members of households to try and pull them into the Xbox ecosystem.

The start of January and the final six months of the football season means only one thing – the Bosman ruling.
Initiated in 1995, the ruling allows players to leave clubs for free come the end of their contract. In addition players are allowed to discuss terms with our teams once they have six months remaining on their current deal.
Over the years the ruling has engineered some spectacular free transfers. In 1996 Edgar Davids became the first high profile star to utilise the law, moving from Ajax to AC Milan. While Steve McManaman left Liverpool to join Real Madrid in 1999, also courtesy of the Bosman ruling.
Most recently, Robert Lewandowksi has agreed to join Bayern Munich for free from Borussia Dortmund come the summer. The Polish forward may have already been snapped up by the Champions League champions, but there are plenty more Bosman bargains to be had.

Bradford also gained thousands of admirers for their incredible league cup run taking them all the way to Wembley and knocking out the likes of Arsenal and Aston Villa.
