Actor Idris Elba struggled with some of the players’ names while presenting The Best FIFA Football Awards 2018 ceremony at the Royal Festival Hall.

Seemingly reading from an auto-cue system for much of the event in London on Monday night, The Wire star ended up repeating himself a few times.

Taking it all in his stride, Elba later revealed a waistcoat featuring England manager Gareth Southgate before the England manager joined him on stage:
