Footballers' naked ambition wins through
FRESH from posing in their soccer socks and not much else, Buxted Football Club won all its matches in a star-studden celebrity charity game on Sunday.
The players bared all for a calendar which aims to raise funds for an organisation dedicated to providing fresh water for deprived families in the Third World.
It's the charity of top international photographer Candice who lives in the village and whose husband plays in the team.
To boost the charity's coffers both first team and juniors invited all-comers to a series of matches in the village.
The first team game was kicked off by model Sophie Anderton and heavy metal band Iron Maiden's drummer Nicko McBrain.
Most went to penalty shoot-outs.
Buxted FC spokesman Bob Spencer told the Express: 'It was glorious - the weather was great and we had some remarkable games of football with local teams doing fantastically.
It was all beyond our wildest dreams - there must have been almost 1,000 people there.'
He said people were queuing at the pavilion, there were so many visitors the beer tent sold out and the portable loos even ran out of paper.
