WHO’S the laziest footballer you’ve ever played with? 

What’s your best goal? If you could change one rule in football, what would it be? 

Do you think footballers are paid too much? 

Do you miss playing football?

Questions streamed forth from an excited group of 10-year-olds from West End school St Clement Danes on Tuesday – and ex-Manchester United and England player Lee Sharpe (above) tried his best to answer. 

The question and answer session, which took place in Soho Square, kicked off with autograph signings and a showcase of football tricks.

The sportsman, Celebrity Love Island contestant and now philanthropist, is used to dealing with kids after setting up a football charity for young drug users in South Africa.

In September he teamed up with property investors, Green Planet Investment, and will be setting up the Lee Sharpe Football Academy in one of their resort development projects on the north east coast of Brazil.
