Team Babyshambles and Pete Doherty came up against the tabloid press yesterday (May 18th) during a soccer tournament in East London.

The band, who were defending their crown at the tournament, were matched against Gordon Smart’s Bizarre team in the second round.

Despite Doherty’s vow to “snap Smart in half”, the match went by without incident and resulted in a 1-1 draw.

As Gigwise reported yesterday, Doherty used his appearance to address the controversial video in which he and Amy Winehouse play with one-day-old mice.

The Soccer Six tournament was eventually won by dance act Faithless after Babyshambles were knocked out in the semi finals.

  • Pete ’played’ for approximately 30 seconds. The guy was completely off his face and his limbs looked like they were made of jelly. The ’Babyshambles’ team was comprised of ex professional footballers and once Pete’s dalliance on the pitch was complete, there wasn’t a Babyshamble in sight. After the ex QPR players, sorry, Babyshambles, beat the Twang - the name of the team reflected somewhat more accurately its members than that of Babyshambles - Pete lolled

  • lots of people appreciated the fact that babyshambles team of ringers got their asses handed to them by Faithless who star amateur striker Alamouti showed the team of ringers up with a hat trick in the final.
