The event, which was attended by the likes of Coleen and Wayne Rooney, Olly Murs, Christine McGuinness, and Abbey Clancy, was held in a bid to raise £1 million to help disadvantaged young people in the UK.
Now in its third year, the fundraising extravaganza was launched in 2021 by Liverpool FC star Trent Alexander-Arnold, Leicester City’s Conor Coady, Jamie Carragher and Real Madrid icon Jude Bellingham in a bid to provide life-changing opportunities in education, employment and sport for school leavers affected by poverty.
Speaking about Vernon’s hosting job, Jamie said: "I'm so happy Vernon could join us and for him to donate his time to the charity after the week he had is just amazing. He is a legend.
"Vernon played a massive role in the night and Football For Change is not stopping here. We are going to help so many people with the money raised."
