This Sunday sees the return of ‘Coke Zero’ Presents: Wayne Rooney’s Street Striker – a UK wide competition to find the nation’s most skilful street footballers.
The show is fronted by Manchester United and England star Wayne Rooney, along with co-presenter Andy Ansah.
Thousands of teenagers entered to appear on the show this summer, showing off their street football skills in trials around the UK.
Twenty four lucky youngsters who best embodied Wayne Rooney’s passion, determination, skill and raw talent, were selected from the trials. They will now go head-to-head in front of Wayne Rooney in a series of street football challenges, battling it out to become 2009’s ‘Coke Zero’ Street Striker and win a once in a lifetime opportunity to attend the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ Final in South Africa.
Wayne told us: “It’s been fantastic to see so many youngsters with such drive and ambition as well as huge skill on this year’s show. It’s also good to see so many girls taking part and holding their own against the boys. With tougher street football challenges to face, everyone really had to raise their game to get through. It’s going to be a great show.”
‘Coke Zero’ Presents: Wayne Rooney’s Street Striker Series 2 starts Sunday at 6pm on Sky1 and Sky1 HD
