Robbie Quits Soccer Due to Knee Injury

23 July 2008

A knee injury has caused singer Robbie Williams to pull out of his charity football match.

Robbie is apparently devastated that he can't play in the Soccer Aid game for Unicef that he himself organized. "Being able to help so many people through Soccer Aid was one of the true highlights of my life," he said. "I'm gutted that this time round my knee isn't up to it so unfortunately I'm out of the game."

"But I hope that everyone involved has the time of their life like I did, raises loads of money for Unicef and that the best side wins!"

The game is scheduled to take place at Wembley Stadium on September 7.
