Paddy McGuinness Shares Rare Soccer Aid Throwbacks

The Farnworth-raised comedian took to Instagram to look back at where it all began ahead of his 10th appearance for England, a milestone that will see him become Soccer Aid’s all-time appearance holder in its 20th anniversary year.

The post highlights just how long he has been part of the event, with images featuring a host of familiar faces from across sport and entertainment.

Over the years, he has shared the pitch with stars including Stormzy, Tom Hiddleston, Jamie Redknapp, Freddie Flintoff, Mo Farah, Olly Murs and Niall Horan.

In the caption, he wrote: “I’m back to make my record-breaking 10th @socceraid for UNICEF appearance.

“Made my first appearance in 2010 and here we are 16 years later!!!

“I’ve got another load of pics for you tomorrow! Too many to show on one carousel.

“This year the match will take place at @londonstadium on Sunday, May 31! Let’s go!!!!”

Soccer Aid for UNICEF has raised more than £121 million since it was launched in 2006 by Robbie Williams.

This year’s match will take place at the London Stadium on Sunday, May 31.

Often seen in goal for England, Paddy has become one of the most recognisable faces in the squad over the past 15 years and this latest appearance marks a significant personal milestone.
