Soccer Aid Special: Habana talks Lions, Wilshere on Tuchel's tactics & Defoe on sacking Big Ange

Mark heads down to Soccer Aid training to meet up with some of the biggest names in sport.

What does ex-England goalkeeper Jo Hart make of Man City's transfer business and how seriously is he taking Soccer Aid? (Very!) Is Bryan Habana still almost as fast as a cheetah and how does he think the Lions will fare? How do Steph Houghton and Jack Wilshere rate England at the moment heading into the Women's Euros and after that Senegal defeat? And who are they most intimidated by at Soccer Aid?

Plus, Jill Scott and Leonardo Bonucci trade threats and share what they learnt from becoming European Champions. Former Spurs players Jermaine Defoe and Aaron Lennon, and former Australia and Liverpool player Harry Kewell, talk about Tottenham sacking Ange Postecoglou and whether Thomas Frank could be a good replacement. And former boxer Tony Bellew gets emotional about the last Everton game at Goodison.

Soccer Aid for UNICEF will be broadcast live at 6pm on Sunday 15th June on ITV1, ITVX, STV And STV player. You can donate to UNICEF ahead of the match at socceraid.org.uk/donate
