Robbie Williams: Premiership stars play for my pub team

Singer rolls out the red carpet to visiting players

Robbie Williams has revealed that top Premiership stars regularly turn out for his American Sunday League team LA Vale.

But the 33-year-old pop star refuses to say who they are.

'I can’t mention them because they come and play with me off-season and they’re not supposed to. I don’t want to get them in trouble,' says Robbie.

In return for donning the LA Vale strip, Robbie, 33, gives the footy stars unlimited access to his pair of £5m Hollywood mansions.

He also makes sure the food and drink flows so they can fully enjoy their sun-bathing before being whisked off to the VIP sections of LA’s most exclusive clubs.

It’s not just footy stars that make the trip across the Atlantic either – Robbie’s best pal Jonathan Wilkes, plus close mates Ant and Dec, are all regulars for the glorified pub outfit.

Rumour is Robbie has even tried to enlist French legend Zinedine Zidane, 35.

'Fans would be staggered by some of the players who’ve turned out,' reveals a Hollywood source to the Daily Star. 'Robbie is a great host.'
