Smithy Attracts Big Names To Support FIFA President Election Campaign For Sport Relief

Smithy Attracts Big Names To Support FIFA President Election Campaign For Sport Relief

Couldn't do a worse job than Sepp...

Arguably James Corden's finest work came between 2007 and 2010 when he played Smithy from Gavin & Stacey. Chubby, funny, stupid - he was everybody's favourite guy.

It's been six long years without Smithy in our lives but in an exclusive clip on BBC iPlayer, Corden has reprised the role for Sport Relief.

But this isn't going to be Smithy as we knew him almost ten years ago. No. Smithy is aiming big. He's now running for FIFA President and he's got some big names to help his election campaign along.

Former Brazil legend Pele endorses the candidacy. Former Liverpool and England captain Steven Gerrard fancies Smithy for the top job. Even Sir Geoff Hurst and Jose Mourinho are behind him.

This bid can't fail, surely?

And the funniest thing about this is that Smithy running for FIFA President isn't actually as outrageous as some of the actual things FIFA have done over the years. Staggering, really.

Go on Smithy laaaa. You couldn't do a worse job than the last joker.
