Kaka STUNS fans by turning 'ringer' for Hackney-based football club

Former Brazil star Kaka surprised his fans on Saturday by turning up for a seven-a-side game in East London. The 37-year-old was in London as a part of Adidas' Rent-A-Pred campaign. It is a new Predator 20 hotline set up to help London footballers in need of a ‘ringer’ for their team.

Over the course of the week, Adidas has been trying to help players to combat the problem of teammates not turning up for games by enlisting the help of some of London's best Predator players as 'ringers' to those in need.

Kaka turned one such 'ringer' for the team in need - Reach Out FC for their game against Hackney Wick FC. Playing for the East London club, Kaka was quick to get his groove in the game when he scored a goal in his signature fashion. The World Cup winner then proceeded with a wild celebration, climbing on the fence as his teammates ran over to him.
