      by

      A YOUTUBER has given an insight into what it’s like to play with some of the biggest legends in the game.Jamm, who is a member of the Shoot For Love YouTube channel was playing in the Match for Hope charity game in Qatar, which featured the likes of IShowSpeed.

      The opposing side, led by UK influencer Chunkz, was managed by Arsene Wenger and included the likes of Eden Hazard, Roberto Carlos and David Villa.
      Jamm did not start the match, but his bodycam footage showed fans exactly what it’s like to play with the legends after he came on.
      His video showed him being called across by Conte to be substituted onto the field, with the former Spurs manager appearing to be a bit unsure of what Jamm’s name was.

      Jamm was given the massive task of marking the recently retired Eden Hazard – who easily skipped around him to create a goal.
      Jamm’s footage also showed a smiling Didier Drogba walking past him to take a corner.
      Despite being skinned by Hazard, Jamm had a decent game while playing at left-back, putting in plenty of blocks.
      He even lost his glasses at one point when clearing the ball with a defensive header.
