WATCH: Tottenham striker, Man Utd defender join forces with All Blacks for UNICEF

Harry Kane and Chris Smalling have featured alongside a trio of All Blacks stars in an advertisement for UNICEF.


The Tottenham striker and Manchester United defender teamed up with New Zealand rugby aces Dan Carter, Ben Franks and Charlie Faumuina and took on six children in a number of different board games.

The 'UNICEF Games' saw the children challenge the football and rugby heroes in 'Hungry Hungry Hippos', 'Operation', and Table Football.

Of the experience, Smalling said: “It was a lot of fun to get together with Harry and challenge the children to some board games. Of course, we took it as seriously as we take every game and wanted to win.

“The children gave us a good run for our money and we were definitely put to the test. We're really proud to support Unicef and to highlight their work in keeping-children across the world safe from harm."
