I remember an article from The Face magazine about that match...well, I don't remember the article. I remember the picture of a topless woman with unfeasibly large breasts attacking Jarvis that accompanied it!!
Wow, thanks Tricia. I thought Steve came off rather well in that footage. ;)
I remember reading that Blur beat Oasis, but not which team ultimately won. I think there were other teams playing, so they were probably all knocked out early.
Pulp in Soccer Shocker Pulp made it through to the semi-finals of the Soccer Six charity football tournament at the weekend (12/5/96). The tournament, at Mile End Stadium, London, which raised money for the Noroff Music Therapy Centre was watched by a 4,000 strong crowd, and was eventually won by Reef.
Pulp's scores were as follows: Pulp vs Northern Uproar 2-0 Pulp vs Oasis 2-1 QUARTER FINAL RESULTS Pulp vs Massive Attack 1-1 (Pulp won 3-2 on penalties) SEMI FINALS Pulp vs Apollo 440 0-3 The Pulp side was made up of: Jarvis Cocker (Pulp), Steve Mackey (Pulp), Nick Banks (Pulp), Anthony Genn (Elastica), Justin Welch (Elastica), Colin Lish (Top Guard Security), Robbie Williams (ex-Take That), Nigel Coxon (Island Records)
Steve Mackey, Robbie Williams and Anthony Genn of the Pulp team all won Tournament Gold Star Awards for their individual contributions to the game.
Robbie Williams played for Pulp? That is odd, I thought he was more of an 'Oasis' man/friend.
I think between the band and the staff / friends, Oasis had enough people to do a whole team, being a "football" band, which isnt the case for blur or Pulp.
There were two football matches I think - the one the footage is from was '96, and the one with the streaker was '95. There is definitely a little bit of footage of the latter out there, if memory serves from a programme about Lyndsey Dawn McKenzie (the streaker, who I think has since gone on to be quite famous in certain "circles"). I would look for it but I don't really fancy typing Lyndsey Dawn McKenzie into Google!

Am I crazy or did Liam just punch Damon in the gut in that second clip? And Jarvis TOTALLY runs (and jumps) like a girl - Steve seems pretty good though, couldn't spy Nick anywhere...
