Yard Act Fifa 22 - James' football trials

To celebrate Yard Act's inclusion on the Fifa 22 soundtrack, James dug out this old vhs footage he found at his mum's house of when he had trials as a lad in the early 2000s.

Coach - Peter Quinn
Our sincerest thanks to all at Poppy Mai F.C in Blackburn for having us down for the afternoon to shoot last week. To Aiden, Linda and everyone else involved in this wonderful little club, you're ace, it was a real pleasure to spend that time with you. Thanks for everything, and all you do for the lads.
Not least of all then, thanks to the lads!
Kenzie, Joseph, Ollie, William and Jayden, thanks for being on my team (the best team, the winners!)
And to Jacob, Harvey, Addison, Jude, Arthur and Will, thanks for agreeing to lose, and pretending you were rubbish at football for the sake of my ego.
You are all ace lads and better footballers than me really. Keep playing and keep being cool.
James

A scout from Crewe Alexander came to watch him once and they said that they were gonna be in touch

Ever since watching this I hear "He's the best player the under twelves have ever seen" in my head every day or so. It haunts me. A truly stunning performance

He looked a real prospect back in the day but did his knee in the 11-7 defeat to Pudsey U 13's and was never the same again. What is he doing now?
