England Bring It Home In Reignwood Icons Of Football
“Probably The Best Moment Of My Life” – Lee Sharpe holes the winning putt for Team England.
The nail-biting finale saw Team England win 20 – 19 against Team World.
1 February 2026, Bangkok, Thailand: England has retained the Icons Series Trophy,
emerging victorious at the 2026 Reignwood Icons of Football. In a day defined by immense
pressure, Team England finished the afternoon singles with a single point 20-19 victory over a
resilient Team World.
The final session had fans worldwide on the edge of their seats as Team World launched a
valiant fightback to erase an earlier deficit. However, it was Manchester United icon Lee Sharpe
who rolled back the years, delivering a clutch winning putt on the final hole to defeat Andriy
Shevchenko. Sharpe described the moment as "probably the best moment of my life," as his
point proved to be the decider that pushed England over the finish line.
The defending champions relied on critical singles victories from Phil Jones, Phil Jagielka, Joe
Hart, and Jermain Jenas, who secured the valuable points needed to withstand a revamped
Team World side that threw everything at their opponents in the closing stages.
Bale vs Bullard ends in draw
In the most anticipated individual matchup of the weekend - voted for by fans worldwide - the
heavyweight battle between Jimmy Bullard and Gareth Bale ended in a dramatic draw. Bale
showed true grit to fight back from 4 Down to rescue a half-point, leaving the global audience
wondering who truly is the best footballer-turned-golfer on the planet. Rematch anyone?
Ultimately, it was Team England’s consistency in the earlier sessions that provided the single
point to survive the final charge. The tournament concluded in front of a global audience,
broadcast across the world, once again proving the power of the Icons Series in uniting the
world of sport through high-stakes, lean-forward entertainment.
