Football — 11/21/2023

Midfielder Henderson selected a legendary Spurs player, and Alexander-Arnold went with a Kop hero.

ENGLAND’S stars were hoping their biscuits would rise to the occasion when Paul Hollywood judged them for a Great British Bake Off special.

But it looks as though a few ended up with soggy bottoms.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, 25, Kieran Trippier, 33, Declan Rice, 24, and Jordan Henderson, 33, had 35 minutes to create a gingerbread masterpiece inspired by their favorite football player.

While Rice, the midfielder, chose former captain John Terry, right back Trippier went with Wayne Rooney, the second-highest goal scorer for England.

Paul Gascoigne was selected by fellow midfielder Henderson, while Alexander-Arnold went with Steven Gerrard.

Born in Merseyside Paul,57, cracked jokes as he entered the Bake Off tent and issued the challenge, saying, “You should probably win if you play for Liverpool.”

“I wish you all the best of luck!”
