After hearing all about Football Superstar Steven Gerrard‘s penchant for DJing, we are not too surprised at the announcement of a Compilation featuring his and his World Cup teammates favorite songs. All for a good cause, the 18-track compilation album called “The England Players Playlist – The Road To Brazil” features some of the biggest chart hits and dance anthems hand-picked by members of the England World Cup squad themselves!
The album is released in conjunction with the England Footballers Foundation, which will receive 10% of proceeds from all physical and digital album sales. Note that the England players have been donating their international match fees to the foundation since its inception in 2007, and this exciting new album will continue their valuable support. The Three Lions Captain, Steven Gerrard said:
All of the players are committed to the England Footballer’s Foundation and are proud to partner with Universal Music on this unique album. It has been an enjoyable experience pulling together our favourite track selections for our England fans, and importantly this product is helping us to raise vital funds and awareness for the charitable causes we choose to support.
It was interesting to peek into the stars playlists as we got a taste of who all have an ear for Dance Music. While defender Phil Jones picked on Duke Dumont feat. Jax Jones alluring ‘I Got U‘, his club teammate Danny Welbeck picked Chase & Status ‘Blk & Blu‘. Respected footballer selected Bastille‘s ‘Pompeii‘ while Ross Barkley chose Ben Pearce‘s ‘What I Might Do‘ as his ideal choice. Avicii would have won this round as well, as ‘Wake me up‘ selected by Steven Gerrard and his collaboration with Nicky Romero‘s ‘I Could Be The One‘ was tapped on by James Milner.
