Not content with a share in Port Vale, Robbie Williams wants a full sized football pitch in his back garden, if reports are to be believed. The Sun claims that the singer has specifically bought a second home at a cost of £5million in LA because his first house in the city didn't have enough room to accommodate his plans.
A source said: "Robbie bought the house just so he could have the football pitch built. He loves the game and really misses it when he's away from his home in England. So he bought a huge place so he can have one installed. He plays once a week with all his friends. Some of them are locals who work in his favourite shops."
The source added that Robbie will be taking the role of England captain in Soccer Aid - a televised celebrity version of the world cup - in the run up to the real World Cup final this summer, saying: "Robbie wants to get a lot of practice in ahead of the celebrity World Cup tournament. He is a proud captain and wants to win badly."
