An amateur footballer from Hampton has won a Europe-wide competition to star during the advert breaks of the Champions League Final on May 21.
Toby Nicholson sent in a film of his unique football tricks and skills to a revolutionary competition on Ford's football website feelfootball.com. The clip features him performing challenging tricks in various rooms of his house, including the unusual footballing location of his toilet.
His clip, which he spent over seven hours working on, was one of six selected to be edited together and broadcast in Ford TV adverts across Europe during the final, in front of hundreds of millions of people.

"It means the world to see my video featured during the Champions League Final," said Exeter City fan Toby, who has played football and has been practising his skills since he was eight years old. "It is the biggest club event of the year and I feel incredibly proud to have my skills and tricks up there in front of the whole world."

"I'm going to have all my friends over to my flat to watch the game, most of them can't believe that I'm going to be on TV in front of millions of people and some think I'm lying! I'm excited about the match too and think that Manchester United will win."
