Take that, Williams!

Keith Allen told Soccer AM how getting one over on Robbie Williams remains one of the proudest moments of his life.

Keith Allen has done many things in the world of showbiz, but none of them come close to beating Robbie Williams' football team. Not fathering two showbiz kids, in Lily and Alfie; not recording England's official World Cup song; not making it to number one; not having an autobiography out and not starring in many a TV series. No, it is Fat Les's success in the Soccer Sixes of which Keith is most proud - if only because it meant getting one over on Damon Albarn and Blur and then the glamour boy of British pop himself. "I used to play at a lot of charity games and in fact Fat Les did win the Soccer Sixes one year," he told Soccer AM. "We beat Robbie Williams' team in the final when we were just a bunch of 'erberts that shouldn't have won. But we did and it was one of the greatest moments of my life, picking up that Soccer Six trophy! "We won the cup against all the odds. The sponsors thought Robbie was going to win, but the 'erberts won! We beat Damon Albarn's mob Blur and he was really upset as well. "But we kept the cup and you know how they have all these little shields on with the winners' names? "Well we put 16 on that all said Fat Les on it and the following year Robbie Williams did win it, but took one look at it and threw it away - what an idiot!" Still, upsetting celebrities seems to run in the Allen family. Daughter Lily is no shrinking violet of course and son Alfie is fast making a name for himself as an actor. He is clearly a chip off the old block when it comes to dealing with the cult of celebrity. So much so that even as a staunch Arsenal fan, as a 10-year-old he managed to leave Ian Wright lost for words. These are two stories that didn't make Allen's auto-biography - out now in paperback - so the comic was more than happy to share them with Soccer AM. "My boy Alfie is a Gooner (because he lives in Islington) and there was a summer football camp and the people that were running it thought it would be brilliant to put fans of both sides together on a football camp, with Tottenham and Arsenal players there," he said. "So I dropped of Alfie and his mate and they were there for four days but I couldn't pick them up, so my ex-wife had to. Apparently at the end of the camp, Ian Wright and Alan Smith were in a room with all these kids answering questions and Alfie had been sitting there like this (with hand in the air) and it came to the last question. "Ian - who I didn't know at the time - had seen him sitting there for an hour-and-a-half and said 'Alfie Allen' stand up and ask your question and Alfie asked: "How did you feel when your wife found out you were having an affair?" No mean footballer himself - despite his efforts in the Hollywood game, where smacking David Beckham in the face was as good as it got - Allen could have made it. A decent youngster he was offered a trial at Southampton, but it didn't really work out. Not that he is bitter about it and not that he ended up feeling robbed. In fact, it was exactly the opposite. "I was on the bench and I felt a bit peeved about that, so I went into the dressing room and stole someone's wallet," he said. "I felt awful and they found out, so that was the end of that! "I was also asked to go for a trial with Leeds when I lived in Wales, but I ended up going to Borstal instead!"
