Coleen Rooney, Tina O’Brien and Brooke Vincent were in attendance on Thursday evening as sporting greats rubbed shoulders with showbiz royalty on behalf of the Football For Change Gala 2022, in partnership with MailOnline.
With husband Wayne currently in the United States while he coaches struggling MLS side DC United, Coleen enjoyed a night on the red carpet at Manchester United’s Old Trafford Cricket Ground, a stone’s throw from where so many of his trophies were won.
Opting for a form-fitting black evening gown, the mother-of-four, 36, looked typically glamorous while posing for photos before making her way inside ahead of the charitable event.
Former Liverpool and England defender Jamie Carragher has raided his contacts book and pulled together an all-star line-up to raise money for projects up and down the country through an initiative called Football for Change, which MailOnline is supporting.
Football For Change has already raised £350,000 through a celebrity lunch and then a dinner, held at the Titanic Hotel in Liverpool, last November. Thursday’s black-tie gala in Manchester aims to raise the bar even higher and rake in another £350,000 for the cause.
And the ladies certainly raised the bar in the fashion stakes, with Coleen wowing on her thigh-skimming black mini dress which featured a one-shouldered design with a chain detail.

Diehard Manchester City fan, Noel Gallagher will be the headline act at the swanky bash with his High Flying Birds and Melanie C and Emeli Sande are also providing entertainment with individual sets. The whole show will be compered by Vernon Kay.
‘Money-can’t-buy lots’ have been donated for a live auction by David Beckham, Formula 1, Robbie Williams, Calvin Harris and BT Sport.
‘It’s going to be a great night,’ said Carragher, whose efforts are bolstered by business leaders, including Ardonagh Retail CEO Ian Donaldson, and public relations executive, Dan Hughes
‘It’s a fantastic initiative, that is going to help, hopefully, working class kids get into employment in lots of different ways. There are lots of football players behind it up and down the country and I am proud to be a part of it,’ added Carragher, 44, who has been committed to charitable work in and around Liverpool, since hanging up his boots, but this has the potential to be even bigger.
