It was a thrill to represent @BigIssue in this London vs Homelessness match at Kingsmeadow (home of Chelsea FC Women). At 50, I thought I'd hung up my boots (they went to the charity shop in 2015). But I scored in a 7-3 victory! Now we all join forces to tackle rough sleeping…

A true game of two halves, united by a shared cause and commitment to volunteer for Crisis this winter.

Last night, politicians and journalists took to the pitch for the inaugural ‘London VS Homelessness’ match to raise awareness of the urgent need to end rough sleeping by 2030.

It was six years since the last time I'd interview Danny Dyer. Between us we had new haircuts, cardigans, hats, @BigIssue tabards & children / grandchildren…
