Sidemen charity match hat-trick hero Manny Brown has hit back at fans who criticised him for "ruining the game".

The game was played at West Ham's London Stadium in front of a sold-out crowd, with a further 2.5 million fans tuning in on YouTube.

More than £2.4 million was raised for a number of charities and the contest between Sidemen FC and the YouTube All Stars was an entertaining 13-goal thriller which finished 8-5 to the hosts.

It was a light-hearted affair, featuring mad moments like referee Mark Clattenburg having a yellow card Uno reversed by Max Fosh and a bizarre KSI own goal.

FIFA YouTuber Manny, brother of Sidemen member TBJZL, was one of the top performers in the clash and showed his quality by netting a trio of goals past streamer xQc.

Yet, bizarrely, the 27-year-old has been forced to respond to backlash after some fans accused him of “trying too hard”.

"Weirdos acting like I’m the first to score a hat-trick in the charity match. If you watch the others back I’m always unselfish passing to whoever, gave a penalty to Vikk but all of a sudden I’ve ruined the game. I had 4 shots.

"I wasn’t even gonna shoot till JJ complained at us."

In a second follow up post on X, formerly known as Twitter, he continued: “I would’ve passed to Vikk if he wasn’t offside that’s the only reason I shot. He even apologised to me.

"I was begging Speed and Filly to score it’s not that deep. Stop being weird. It was an amazing occasion. Money raised for charity and dreams fulfilled for so many people.”

Manny and brothers Tobi and Jed were all invited to train with Crawley Town in October last year following on from the 2022 Sidemen charity game at the Valley.

They play for Woolwich and Eltham Sunday Football Alliance side Under The Radar FC every week.
