Angry Ginge makes decision on turning pro in football after second Soccer Aid POTM performance

Social media personality Angry Ginge was asked whether he would consider a career in professional football after winning the Soccer Aid Player of the Match award for the second year running.

This year's Soccer Aid took place at West Ham's London Stadium, with England securing a 3-2 win on the 20th anniversary of the event thanks to goals from Jermain Defoe (2) and Damson Idris.

Defoe is the top-scoring player in Soccer Aid history and is also the only player to score more than one brace in the competition, but Ginge was named Player of the Match after another solid display.

The 24-year-old, who won the latest series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, rarely put a foot wrong and picked up the joint-most defensive contributions (10), which included a superb goal-line clearance.

Speaking to talkSPORT after Sunday's final whistle, Ginge, real name Morgan Burtwistle, was asked if he was going to "turn professional with the football" after such an impressive performance at the back.

"I might leave the football," he said, "But someone has got to try and challenge (Luke) Littler, haven't they, so I might have to try and actually practice."

Angry Ginge is considering entering professional darts tournaments

Back in January, Ginge said he was considering entering next year's Q-School, an open competition that allows any player aged 16 or older to win a two-year PDC Tour Card.

“I might go to Q-School next year, though. Not to win, because I know I won’t win," he told Oche18.

“Just to see what it’s like. The more pressure you’re under, the more you get used to it. In darts, your hands are shaking and everything. Darts is mainly about who’s got the biggest bottle.”

Luke Littler has previously backed Ginge to enter Q-school and earn a professional darts tour card.

“Yeah, obviously it's hard,” Littler said back in February.

“I didn't go through Q-school, so I don't know what it's like to play in there, but obviously, I see some of the results every year, and people are losing with like 105 averages, but obviously, for Ginge himself, if he gets the luck of the draw, he could win a few games."

"If he wants to do a few hours a day constantly, then he'd obviously get better himself. But yeah, we'll see him at Q School one day," added Littler.
