Jennifer thought Victoria was a real character and very much hopes they can stay friends now they have met. They talked about the film industry and then their shared love - fashion. Jennifer thinks the pair could be capable of developing a seriously sexy range. [...] Jennifer is in the process of writing a couple of films, one of which is a real chick flick about two sisters who get separated at birth but are later reunited. She hopes Victoria will lend a hand if needs be and give her opinions on the script.

This is one of the proudest moments in my life. When I was a boy attending the Bobby Charlton soccer school all I wanted to do was to play for Manchester United and England.

Now I have achieved that and to be able to give children the chance to do the same things is just amazing. I wanted an environment where children could learn but more importantly have fun. This has surpassed my highest expectations.

It is about education in football. Not just teaching youngsters how to kick a ball properly but education on diet and fitness. There are so many things the children will learn here and I am so pleased that it is here in London, the place where I was born.
