Funnyman Ferrell Hurt in Celebrity Soccer Match

Will Ferrell knows how to take a pratfall.

But the “Saturday Night Live” grad was seriously limping after a charity soccer match in England over the weekend. The “Anchorman” star fared better than reality show chef Gordon Ramsay in the game, however.

Ferrell limped off the field in considerable pain with a leg injury late in Sunday’s annual Soccer Aid game at Manchester United’s Old Trafford but will have counted himself more fortunate than Ramsay, who earlier was hospitalized following a heavy challenge.

The foul-mouthed “Hell’s Kitchen” star was stretchered off the field while receiving oxygen, after being flattened by former England international Teddy Sheringham midway through the second half. He later was released from the hospital.

Ferrell and Ramsay were teammates on a Rest of the World team littered with stars and veteran professional players taking on a select England XI for children’s charity UNICEF in a contest that eventually raised more than $6.4 million.
