A gaggle of footballing legends turned out for the UN's ninth annual 'Match against Poverty' last night, which saw a squad of 30-odd luminaries such as Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo (who are both UN Goodwill Ambassadors), Didier Drogba, Fernando Couto, Luis Figo, Edgar Davids, Pavel Nedved and Fabio Cannavaro take on a Hamburg SV All-Stars side in front of a 24,000-strong crowd in Germany.

Juventus all'esordio: arriva l'insidioso Parma Dopo l'inaugurazione, con relative polemiche per le assenze di Pavel Nedved e Luciano Moggi, del nuovo Juventus Stadium, i Bianconeri si preparano ad accogliere il Parma per l'esordio in campionato.

All things must pass an apt epitaph for the career of a man who used the ball like Paul Scholes did in his pomp, a midfield hub that could ping a zephyr-like pass across the width of a crowded football pitch and land it on a pound coin 99 times out of 100.

Welcome to a daily feature that I'll be writing for the foreseeable future (if anyone actually likes it). I intend it to be a light-hearted roundup of some of the more amusing events that football has to offer. After all, the game's supposed to be entertaining, isn't it? Today we kick festivities off with.

Liverpool have officially announced an agreement with Andy Carrol for £35m (€41m) plus bonuses. Deep breath.

To put this in perspective, he's now the 18th most expensive outlay in the history of football, just between Ballon d'Or winner Pavel Nedved and World Cup winner David Villa. That's a good place for Carroll's 14 top-flight goals, solitary international cap and the big bread winner, his English birth certificate.
