It’s supposed to be a friendly game to raise money for charity but someone clearly forgot to tell Teddy Sheringham.

The former England footballer took the match so seriously that one of his particularly blistering tackles saw opposing team member Gordon Ramsay stretchered off the pitch.

Even after the tackle, which occurred just five minutes in to the game, Sheringham was oblivious to Ramsay's injury - patting him on the back as the chef lay in agony on the grass.
