Wayne Rooney's Street Striker (ep 3, series 1 finale)

I had the pleasure of directing this series in the late summer of 2008, for my great friends at Plum Pictures. They were keen to emulate the feel of Jump Britain in style, and I think of the three programmes this is my favourite: my favourite music, favourite location, Wayne, Andy and Sue were fully into their stride, and of course five great finalists. Here's some blurb:
"Wayne Rooneyâ s search for the countryâ s best, young, all-round, raw street football talent reaches its climax. The final of this uniquely street talent competition takes place in a fitting setting, a world away from the X Factor stage or the Apprentice boardroom: the top three floors of a multi-storey car park in Stockport. Wayne - assisted by his competition sidekicks Andy Ansah and Sue Smith - have set two final, evil street football challenges in the car park, and there are some added twists along the way. The stakes are high; Wayne must decide which of the nervous, final five contestants - Henry, Ahsan, Travis, Jordan and Mohamed - is the rightful winner of the title Wayne Rooney' s Street Striker."

Man I miss this programme

[@chugginmyestus5024]

I find it hilarious how the finalists are still so crap compared to the standard that I would expect...

Tbh every second kid in Brazil would be better than them, the level of Football in England is low.

In my opinion, if they cant pass some1 1v1 then they shouldnt even be on the show, they freestyle and show what skillz they can do but most of them probably cant perform on the pitch :L

can you put up the 2nd episode please

[@captaindisarray]

from previous episodes kabir was sikk but he let himself down in the 2nd one he could've won it if he was consistent,but travis he was a worthy winner in the end

[@19unknown83]

wat match was it dat the lads went to see?

[@sugarsaint]

Travis was by far the best on the day, mo should have got through round 1, but Travis almost his every one of the dummies hence. Down the rap he was sick off, but any one of the last 5 on another day could have won. Today Travis was best BY FAR

[@nvdb___]

henry looks like a young tupac

Travis Beckfords brother ayyy

[@legendaryspartanking]

@merton8181 You kidding me? In England there is TONS of undiscovered talent. But putting that aside, I'm a great footballer (So I'm told) And I'm half Bangladeshi and half English (I'm an atheist too.) So do you think that if I prove myself, one day I could play for England or will my Bangladeshi nationality negate that from happening?

[@mikeoxmells-grimm8876]

Kyle ur nan

[@AbishekPoudyal]

He didn't choose them because they were a little too nervous while taking those shots and if you're trying to be clever let me tell you they wouldn't have even gotten till here if that were to be the case. Footballers need to be confident and they were not simple as that.

@JIMBOakaJEMAL Jermaine Beckfords Bro Won!!! Not J. Defoe

[@SALFX7]

my accuracy is better than all of them put together :P but my dribbling skills suck.

[@sugarsaint]

you all talk bollocks, the best man won, clearly the last 5 where soo good, that on any given day we could have had any as the winner. The way Travis went down the rap was SICK OFF, Mohammed and NOT Ashan should have got through round1, but Travis almost hit every one! Travis the BEST by far.

[@kuuskor]

@sc4rzpur3 Im agree with you 101% ... Some random dudes from random football team..
