Troubled rock star Pete Doherty showed off his footballing skills today as part of the Celebrity Soccer Six tournament - and was cheered on by his number one fan, Kate Moss.

Supermodel Moss turned up to watch the Babyshambles frontman lead his band against teams of TV and music personalities at the event at West Ham's Upton Park ground in London.

Among the celebrities taking to the field were Razorlight, boy band Eton Road, Donny Tourette and his band Towers of London, Brian McFadden, Angus Deayton, and stars of 'Hollyoaks', 'Shipwrecked' and 'Big Brother'.

And in the women's teams, the stars of 'Wags Boutique', 'Bad Girls', 'Beauty and the Geek' and 'Shipwrecked' were joined by Bianca Gascoigne, Caprice, Big Brother's Imogen Thomas and Michelle Heaton and Kelli from Liberty X.

The celebrities turned out for the 20th Soccer Six tournament to raise money and awareness for the Samaritans.

Begun in 1995, Soccer Six has attracted stars including Jude Law, Robbie Williams, Mark Owen, Cat Deeley, Ant and Dec, Westlife, Rod Stewart, and a team from Radio 1 over the years.

On one famous occasion spectators witnessed a showdown between rival bands Oasis and Blur - who were also battling it out in the charts at the time.

Since Soccer Six first kicked off at Mile End stadium 12 years ago, competitions have been played at major football grounds around the country, including Anfield, St James Park, Stamford Bridge, Goodison Park, Villa Park and the Madjeski stadium.
