THEY MAY HAVE LOST THE GAME BUT THEY WON THE HEARTS OF ALL THE GIRLS...

ENGLISH-FILIPINO FOOTBALLER Phil Younghusband played for Chelsea and the Philippine national team, put up a football clinic, joined show biz, made young girls swoon with his magazine pin-ups and ad campaigns. But on the pitch, he’s just another player being watched over by his mother.

“I’m like, ‘Mom!’ I’m 22!’ but it’s okay, you can never be too conscious when playing because the game is so fast that you won’t have the time to think about your parents on the sidelines,” Phil said, laughing.

His Filipino mom Susan, to this day, looks after him and his brother James in tournaments—even during practice.


Phil and James are the ambassadors for 1Goal, a global signature campaign that aims to make education a priority and helps 72 million children—6 million of whom are Filipinos—to complete primary school by 2015.

Advocacy group VSO Bahaginan will facilitate school and community tours with the Younghusband brothers to get people to join.
