Molly-Mae Hague has humorously joined the throngs of fans ridiculing Tommy Fury’s Soccer Aid performance.
The boxer, 25, received a lot of attention online after coming in as a substitute during the charity game and instantly throwing the ball underhand.
Things did not appear too bad for the former Love Island star at first, as he held the ball over his head and examined the pitch before switching tactics and rolling the ball in like a bowler.
Fury’s performance did not improve as the match progressed, and it became evident that his athleticism does not extend to football.
Viewers quickly turned to social media to mock his lack of football ability.

@supervaluebros joked: ‘It’s a throw in Tommy, not bowling.’
@icharmer speculated: ‘Dude has probably never watched a game of football in his life.’
@IndependentNarc joked that perhaps Fury was just too muscular to throw-in properly: ‘Couldn’t get these arms over his head 💪🤣’
@LAZYCFC teased: ‘Suppose he’s used to aiming below the belt.’

Fury’s fiancée, Molly-Mae Hague, 25, has joined in the fun, teasing her man on Instagram.
The influencer posted photos of Fury’s now-famous throw-in on her Instagram story to her 7.8 million followers, captioned ‘Iconic.’
The couple, who came in second place on ITV’s Love Island in 2019, are known for their fun nature, as evidenced by this amusing post.
Since leaving the Spanish property, the couple has celebrated several milestones, including the birth of their daughter, Bambi, in 2023.
They have been able to parlay their reality show fame into successful careers in the public spotlight.
They have 13 million Instagram followers between them and collaborate with businesses such as Marks and Spencer, Garnier, and Pretty Little Thing.
Tommy proposed to Molly-Mae in Ibiza last year, accompanied by her favourite artist RuthAnne.
Unfortunately, Fury’s throw-in was not the only memorable incident from Soccer Aid 2024.
Usain Bolt suffered a ruptured Achilles after being carried off the pitch due to an injury during the game.
Bolt was attempting to prevent Jermain Defoe from scoring when he suffered the injury.
England defeated the World XI 6-3, with goals from Joe Cole, Ellen White, Steven Bartlett, Jermain Defoe, Billy Wingrove, and Theo Walcott. The annual event raised almost £15 million for charity.
