What, you thought David Beckham was the only avid fan of the footy in town? Well, Robbie Williams would love to remind you that that's simply not true - we caught the Rock DJ himself enjoying a spirited contest between his LA Vale club and Pennar, another local outfit. Unfortunately, Robbie wasn't able to put any balls in the back of the net, but everyone appeared to be having a good time. Besides, most of Robbie's scoring takes place at Hyde!
Avid Robbiephiles will of course note that the name "LA Vale" comes from Port Vale, Robbie's long-time club of choice back home in England (they're actually called . Of course, Port Vale keeps a slightly lower profile than the bigger clubs like Arsenal or Manchester United - heck, Robbie's probably better known than anyone on its roster!
