       Sir Keir Starmer suffered humiliation while playing football today after a dodgy goalkeeping performance saw his Sunday league side slip to a heavy defeat.

       Starmer and his London-based team were defeated 14-8 during the match, which saw him ship two goals while playing between the sticks.

       The Labour leader could be seen throwing his hands in the air in frustration as his side were well beaten.

       Starmer is known to be a big football fan having played the game since his school days, including for amateur north London side Homerton Academicals.

       "But what I love about that is it's a group of players I've known for a long, long time. Nobody gives a stuff what you do for a living.
