Charity football match for lookalikes

01/08/08

Those working in the building trade who look like footballers are being asked to sign up to a charity five-a-side football match.

Building materials supplier Screwfix is organising the game and has said that it will make a generous donation to BBC Children in Need.

"This is the sort of opportunity that many of us can only dream of, with untold bragging rights down the pub," John Mewett, marketing director of Screwfix commented.

Unskilled labourers are not exempt from the game and anyone in the industry is being encouraged to take part.

Screwfix said that the event may even turn some people in the construction industry away to start up a career as lookalikes.

Highlights from the match will be broadcast on Sky Sports as a prelude to the Masters final in Birmingham on September 7th.
