Micah Richards has hilariously revealed Paul Gascoigne called him the wrong name after meeting on Saturday night.
Both men, along with Gary Lineker, posed for a picture as the Three Lions lost 1-0 to Brazil - with Endrick the matchwinner for the visitors.
Gascoigne attended the fixture and, like Richards and Lineker, paid tribute to the late Terry Venables prior to kick off.
The 56-year-old looked smart in a cream suit, while he also sported a white shirt and black tie.

Richards was delighted to meet Gazza.
And the former Manchester City and Aston Villa star has hilariously revealed the England icon initially got his name wrong.
Speaking on the Rest is Football podcast, Richards said: "It (the event) was unbelievable.
"So Gazza was there, he looks brilliant, he sounds back to his very best.
"He comes up to me, and first of all he calls me Miguel."
Lineker then interjected to say: "Mickel he called you."
But Richards didn't seem too bothered by Gazza's minor mistake and revealed he was just happy the former England star knew who he was.
"I'm buzzing he even knows who I am but anyway he comes over to me and goes, 'When I was first watching Match of the Day I thought who the f*** is this?'
"And he goes, 'Then actually I thought to myself, this guy knows his stuff'.
"And I think he said, 'Well done, good on you'. Those were his words so it was just brilliant. What a guy he is."
"[It was] The first time I met him properly where I had a conversation with him and I can understand for you guys, being around him it must have been amazing."
Gascoigne has suffered with his health over the years.
But news of the England legend being back to his best will delight supporters, with the former midfielder a national treasure.
Gascoigne did, however, recently shed light on his struggles.
And he revealed he is 'no longer a happy drunk' due to his ongoing battle with addiction.

"I used to be a happy drunk. I ain't anymore. I'm a sad drunk. I don't go out and drink, I drink indoors," he told High Performance.
"People know Paul Gascoigne but Gazza, no one knows. Even me sometimes. I've spent a lot of years being down, when I did my ligaments and then my kneecap, I missed four years of football. I would've got 100 caps (for England).
"I try not to get down because the world's already down enough.
"And when I'm really down, that's when I pick up a drink to cheer myself up.
"I don't think I let any managers down, or the players or the fans you know. If there was anyone I let down, it was myself. But more the drinking side of it, when I finished playing."

Fortunately, Gascoigne did say he was 'alright'.
He added: "If I want to make it a bad day, (all I need to do) is) go down the pub. If I want it to be a good day, get my flying rod out and go fishing.
"It's not the drinking, it's the afterwards. Looking at my phone after and seeing 30 messages or missed calls, I know I'm in trouble. But I've been alright. Last year wasn't brilliant, was off and on for a couple of months."
