Wayne and Coleen Rooney lead the way at glam Football For Change gala along with Carragher, Hatton and Love Islanders
WAYNE and Coleen Rooney led the way at the glamorous Football For Change gala.
Sports stars and celebrities alike flocked to the huge event at Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester on Saturday evening.
And among the biggest names was the former Manchester United and England captain Rooney – now Birmingham City manager – alongside wife Coleen.
The pair both wore black for the prestigious night.
Jamie Carragher took his daughter Mia along as Conor Coady went with his wife.
Peter Crouch was pictured arriving on his own.
Boxer Ricky Hatton was flanked by his new model Playboy girlfriend Chelsea Claire in their first public appearance.
From the showbiz world, Helen Flanagan, Claudia Fogarty, Gemma Owen, Christine McGuinness, Olivia Bowen and Kady McDermott all stunned on the turquoise carpet.
Rooney, Crouch and Carragher all spoke on stage while Vernon Kay also took the microphone.
That is despite the TV personality only completing a staggering 116 miles and raising more than £5million for Children in Need just days earlier.
Olly Murs performed later on in the night, as did Beverley Knight.
Football For Change was set up by stars by Trent Alexander-Arnold, Conor Coady and Jamie Carragher in 2021 to make an impact for young people living in the most deprived communities in the UK.
The likes of Jude Bellingham, Steven Gerrard, Gary Neville, Gary Lineker and Beth Mead are all supporters of the charity – as well as numerous business leaders.
The funding has helped with key projects in education, employment and sport for those who have grown up in poverty or faced particular hardship growing up.
