After it was announced Roman would be joining Soccer Aid for Unicef’s World XI team, he said: “I’m so excited to make my debut for Soccer Aid for Unicef 2019 and can’t wait to get on the pitch at Stamford Bridge. I couldn’t quite believe it when I got the call, it’s a dream come true. I’ve watched Soccer Aid for years and as an Arsenal fan I can’t believe I’m going to be playing alongside so many legendary players such as Robert Pires.”

The Capital stars will be going head to head, but Marvin may have the upper hand considering he’s taken part in Soccer Aid for Unicef in the past.

The JLS star explained: “I am so excited to be taking part in Soccer Aid for Unicef this year, back again and playing for England! I’ll be playing against Didier Drogba who is one of my idols, and of course we’ll be raising lots of money for Soccer Aid for Unicef. You’ve got to be there!”
