McIlroy got game

50 Shades of Grey star Jamie Dornan swapped his ball gag for a football as he took on Rory McIlroy in game of circular soccer.

If you’ve ever wanted to see the world number one golfer take on a man who rose to fame playing perverts and serial killers at a soccer spin-off, then this is the clip for you.

The two stars of their respective fields looked like they had some mighty craic taking each other on in this one-on-one soccer skill game.

The object of the game is simple, try to get the ball into one of the three nets of the tiny three-sided goal more times than you’re opponent.

It turns out that McIlroy and Dornan were a surprisingly good match for the challenge. Although, Dornan might be one of the most unenthusiastic defenders in the world. After McIlroy beat him with a well-worked turn, the actor walked at a snail’s pace to get back and try to cover the goal, giving the golfer ample time to find the net with relative ease.

He’d get berated if he tried that sort of carry-on in 5-aside match.
