Biography
I come from a football family, I was born on the famous White
Hart Lane close to the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, where my Dad once
played for Spurs and my cousin for bitter rivals Arsenal. I shared
their talent for the game and played semi-professional football but
even though I was always pretty good, due to my small size and
frame, I was never really given the chance to become a pro, so I
just kept practicing my tricks.
After working as a football coach for the likes of Tottenham
Hotspur, Arsenal and other coaching schools, I began my football
freestyle career in 2002 after reaching the semi-finals of the Nike
Freestyle Competition in London.
I went on to perform at various events and on TV shows such as
'Dream team' on Sky One and kids channels Disney and Nickelodeon,
before signing for Tottenham Hotspur in December 2003 as their
Official Football Freestyler.

My biggest freestyle performance came at the World Cup final

miles (A world record live audience for a football performance)
with my football freestyle show.
