Jeremy Clarkson gifted two lucky England fans his World Cup tickets for the Ghana game - hours before the match kicked off.21:06, 23 Jun 2026Updated 21:07, 23 Jun 2026Jeremy Clarkson turned into the Father Christmas of football as he gifted two England fans tickets to the World Cup game against Ghana, just before the game kicked off.The Clarkson’s Farm star, who recently made his cancer diagnosis public, travelled out to Boston to watch Harry Kane and co in their second game of the tournament. However, despite making the journey to America, he promptly changed his mind about attending.Instead, the 66-year-old offered the passes out to fans on Twitter, causing a frenzy when he posted: “I have two tickets for the England game in Boston this afternoon. Anyone want them?“I’m in Boston and I have these 2 spare tickets. To get them, you need to be in Boston too.”Touching on his generosity, he revealed the reason behind his decision to sit the game out had more to do with the weather than anything else.“I didn’t fancy getting soaked at my first England World Cup game so I decided to treat someone without tickets,” he told the Sun. “I offered them first-come-first served to any England fans in Boston and they went almost immediately to two lads who couldn’t believe their luck.“It was great to treat them and I hope they’re enjoying Boston as much as I am. The atmosphere has been terrific.”Derry Thoma and Gary Collier snapped up the tickets, and met with Jeremy in person to collect them. In a wild twist, he explained the lucky fans are from Selby, in Yorkshire, just a few miles from where he was born.“I bet when they woke up in Boston without tickets they must never have dreamed that Jeremy Clarkson would be getting them into the game,” he added. “But I have to say X worked a treat once I offered them online and my tickets were snapped up in no time.”Jeremy has had a tough few months after revealing his battle with prostate cancer last week, in the season finale of Clarkson’s Farm.Speaking to his colleagues and close friends in emotional scenes - filmed between 2024 and 2025 - he explained that the cancer was “aggressive” but had been discovered early.Offering an update on his condition in an interview with the Times, he has since confirmed that he is now in remission, as a follow-up PSA test two months ago revealed no indication of cancer."I am without a doubt, officially, the world's luckiest man. It was an aggressive type of cancer. It could have spread, it could have gone into the pancreas, it could have gone anywhere, and that would have been trouble,” he declared.Article continues below"This is why I have to say to everybody who's reading this, please, please, please go and get checked. It's not uncomfortable, it's not undignified. And it's a no-brainer."I did, and that's why I'm sitting here talking to you 11 months down the line. I've seen so many people die of cancer. It doesn't bear thinking about what it must be like to live knowing that an illness is going to kill you."Like this story?
