Sports Direct’s Christmas advertisement campaign – named “Give Me Football” – features the likes of Eric Cantona, Thierry Henry, Declan Rice, Jarrod Bowen and Emma Hayes
Sports Direct have released not one but THREE Christmas adverts to promote their 2022 festive range.
All three clips, which last for around 20 seconds, feature Manchester United legend Eric Cantona and will now doubt leave fans in stitches due to their hilarious storylines. The adverts centre around Sport Direct’s “Give Me Football” campaign, a theme which runs alongside this year’s World Cup in Qatar that ends just seven days before Christmas Day.
Cantona is joined in the star-studded adverts by Thierry Henry, Mason Mount, Declan Rice, Jarrod Bowen, Emma Hayes, Gabriel Jesus and iconic football commentator Clive Tyldesley. All three videos were released to the public on Thursday morning.
In the first advert – called “Family Dinner” – Cantona, Hayes, Henry and Jesus enjoy Christmas dinner. Instead of a Turkey, Cantona brings out a football and says, “Give me football”. Hayes then asks Jesus for the salt, but the Arsenal ace only accepts his Chelsea rival’s request on Henry’s approval. Henry is a Gunners legend, of course.
