Chelsea's Asmir Begovic plays Star Wars Battlefront on Wembley's giant screens

Battlefront: Asmir Begovic battled Chris Moyles on the Wembley screens
Tom Dutton29 November 2015

Chelsea goalkeeper Asmir Begovic joined radio DJ Chris Moyles for a game of Star Wars Battlefront, Battle of Jakku on the giant Wembley screens ahead of Sunday's London derby.

The 28-year-old has shown jedi-like agility at times this season, starting 10 Premier League matches for the Blues in the absence of injured first-choice goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

Begovic was on the bench as Chelsea lost the Community Shield at Wembley in August, but this time took centre stage at the national stadium.

The Bosnia international battled 'massive Star Wars fan' Moyles, as Wembley's arch turned green and red to represent the iconic Lightsaber colours of the game's protagonists, Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader.

Begovic said: “It was fun to be back at Wembley, and this time it was to do battle with Chris Moyles. I've always watched Star Wars and it was great to play Star Wars Battlefront on the big screen.”
