I've always been envious of those that can do these sorts of tricks. I used to play for my school up until I was 16, yet I couldn't and still can't do the simplest :/
I don't get how he gets the ball to stick to his foot.
I can catch it pretty well, but it doesn't stay there very much if I throw my foot around like he does - flat-ish ball?
Amazing to watch though.
Who says only the Brazilians can do tricks?

Good yes but the brazilians can do some of that swtuff when they are in a match situation!
Still impressive stuff though!

I think sometimes they use different balls like that Brazilian ball (futbal salao or something?) which is heavier and harder (but also usually a bit smaller) so bounces less.
Having just watched the video, doesn't look like he is using that though, he just pinches the ball between foot and shin.

As said int he first 6sec of the video...
Isn't he a professional footballer then? You'd think someone with that skill must have decent match skill?

Why?
Good footballers have good footballing minds / strength / speed / exceptional foresight etc etc, not just the ability to keep a ball within a few feet (regardless of how skillful it is).
No doubt he is probably good, but there is nothing to say that he would even compete well at an amatuer / semi pro standard :]

He was on the books at Arsenal but was released at 16 because his footballing ability was not good enough (this was mentioned in his Britains Got Talent audition). There is no doubting his skill, but the rest of his game isnt up to standard.
He is, I don't know the guys name but he is employed by Spurs to do their half time shows. Awesome talent.
He is also the guy that does the Sun adverts.
Billy Wingrove?
Yeah was thinking that too, not a bad cwalker really. Good skills as well, was more impressed by his dancing!
