With England playing football in a tournament in Germany tonight (I won’t be watching – I have a night out planned) (and before you get all antsy with me, please read this again), I was reminded of this Carlsberg ad from the 2006 World Cup – which was also a football tournament in Germany:
Some great names there, several of them sadly no longer with us. But how cool that they could assemble such a great line up. And what a privilege for the “Dog & Duck” guys to be involved. Can you imagine getting a call from some Ad Wizard or other asking if your team would be free to do a quick shoot one morning next week? And then finding out that it was this one.
Wow.
My team would have loved to have done this. We even play in black and yellow. And we could have easily lost with the same sort of ease and the Dog & Duck boys. We’re practically experts of late.
Look, if anyone from Carlsberg is reading this (112 people from Denmark read this blog in 2023) and you are planning a 20-year anniversary special of this, just drop me a line. Please.
