“We need Mark Goldbridge on commentary” - Fans react to Sidemen announcing charity football stream after 4 years
British YouTube group Sidemen have finally announced their much-anticipated charity football match for the first time in four years. The last charity event was held in 2018, where the unit took on YouTube All Stars, featuring creators such as King Bach, ChrisMD, Mo Vlogs, Rudy Mancuso, and Hugh Wizzy.
