Max Fosh explained his Uno reverse yellow card during the Sideman FC charity match.
The Sideman charity match has become a yearly staple that sees some of the world’s biggest content creators go head-to-head to raise money for various organisations.
The charity match, which benefited mental health, cancer and children’s initiatives, drew some 60,000 fans to the London Stadium and was won by Sidemen FC 8-5.
In a chaotic encounter full of drama, one of the most talked about moments came when referee Mark Clattenburg went to give Fosh a yellow card, only for the YouTuber to pull out a green Reverse card from Uno.

Fosh was on target in the 13-goal thriller but it was the image of him holding up the card that quickly went viral rather than his goal, with fans all over the world laughing at the ingenuity.
And according to the man himself, it took a fair bit of planning.
Explaining how the move came about, Fosh explained in his latest TikTok: "Here's the story of how I managed to play an Uno reverse card at the Sidemen charity game," he says in the clip.
"When I was asked to play the match, I knew I needed to add a little bit of a Max Fosh spin on the game, so after a lot of brainstorming, I came up with the Uno reverse card and bought a couple of normal-sized ones and some big ones.
"The day of the match arrived and I had them in my backpack before sneakily putting them in my shorts and you need to get a yellow card and so I was sliding all over the shop during the game - I even accidentally scored.
"The Uno reverse was always sitting there waiting for its moment.
"Then, eventually, in the 77th minute, I took down Miniminter and a meme was born."
