Lovejoy Backs the Bid

Football fan and TV personality throws his support behind England 2018

Tim Lovejoy's recent trip to Wembley to take part in the FA Cup sixth round draw gave the Something For The Weekend host the perfect opportunity to become England 2018's latest famous face to officially Back the Bid.
 
A regular at Stamford Bridge to support his beloved Chelsea FC and a former host of Saturday morning football show, Soccer AM, Tim is one of England's most passionate celebrity supporters of the national game.
 
His backing adds to an ever growing list of stars who have got behind the England 2018 campaign, including double Brit Award winners JLS, Formula 1 World Champion Jenson Button, X-Factor winner Joe McElderry and legendary Oasis front man Noel Gallagher.
 
Tim said: "Having the chance to host the World Cup in 2018 would be incredible. I've been lucky enough to be involved in football all my life - both as a fan and then throughout my career as well. The excitement that the entire nation has for the game is incredible and the chance to showcase this to the world would be amazing. 


 
"The best thing about the England Bid is we already have so much infrastructure in place - like amazing stadiums, and foreign players from around the world love playing in England, it's like a home from home atmosphere and a World Cup in 2018 would be a fantastic experience for fans from any of the competing countries.
 
"I'm a massive supporter of the England 2018 Bid and would encourage all football fans to log on to www.england2018bid.com to register their support as well."
