Boris Johnson suffered an embarrassing football thumping – as young players repeatedly hit him in the face and body with penalty shots.
And before he could recover, England legend Gary Lineker tackled the Tory leader on cuts to sport for kids.
The Prime Minister demonstrated he’s no better in goal than in government during a kick-about with young football fans.
As the election campaign neared its final whistle donned his football kit for a 15 minute run-out at the Seashell Trust, a charity which helps children with severe learning difficulties based in Cheadle, near Stockport.
But when Tory Culture Secretary Nicky Morgan Tweeted a string of the party’s promises on sport, including £550m for “grassroots football”, Mr Lineker couldn’t keep quiet.
He tweeted: “I’m sticking to football during the election, but this is football and it’s bulls**t.
“Hundreds of millions have been cut from local authority sporting budgets. Carry on.”
Mr Johnson has a history of playing dirty on the field, including tripping up a child during a kick-about while mayor of London and infamously diving head first into a German player’s crotch during a 2006 charity match.
The Tory leader, who played rugby for Balliol College while studying at Oxford, also flattened a 10-year-old boy during a touch-rugby session in Japan.
Today he faced a series of penalty kicks from an U10s girls’ team. Wearing black tracksuit jogging bottoms, black trainers and a grey hoodie,
Mr Johnson managed to save some spot-kicks while others flew past him into the net. A number of the shots hit him in the face and groin.
Also on the pitch, where Hazel Grove United U10s were playing Poynton Juniors u10s, was Liverpool legend John Barnes, believed to live locally.
Outside the field, locals protested holding up signs which read: “Liars, Liars” and “Save the NHS”
