BILLY WINGROVE


Billy Wingrove, is a British Football Pro-Freestyler. Born 15 November 1982 in London, England. Billy began learning his football freestyle skills as a child. Beginning with the standard keepie uppie skills in the local park, Billy would stay behind when all his friends had gone home, to practice some extravagant football skills that would impress his friends and family.

Billy comes from a football family, but unlike his father, who played for Tottenham Hotspur and cousin who played for Arsenal, Billy preferred to use and express his skills as an individual instead of as part of a team, although his talents have still established him with local semi-professional sides.

As he grew older he learned more and more tricks and became part of the network of young football freestylers in the London area. In 2003, Billy entered the NIKE freestyle competition in London Earl's Court, and out of 6,000 contestants, he reached the semi-finals.

He began to study and copy some of the tricks shown on TV by Ronaldo, Romario and the rest of the Brazil squad in the famous Nike 'Airport' commercial. Billy has been working as a "professional" football freestyler since the 2003 NIKE Freestyle event in London.

Billy became the first football freestyler to be signed up as professional "Football Freestyler" by a professional with his friend Fidan Morina from Kosovo club. When Premiership team, Tottenham Hotspur signed him up. Billy displays and teaches his freestyle tricks and skills for Tottenham's coaching in the community schemes, corporate sponsors and on the pitch for half-time and pre-match entertainment for Premiership games. He has also appeared as half time entertainment for England international matches.

In 2005 Billy appeared in KDDI TV commercial with japanese footballer Shinji Ono. Shortly after this Billy appeared with Wayne Rooney for a Coca Cola promotion and was also featured J-league stars in Japanese football magazine "Footival". Billy work has also been featured in the UK magazines FourFourTwo and Match. Coca Cola, O2, Barclaycard, Disney, and Sky Sports have all since used Billy for promotions or advertising.

My Opinion :

Well, he is one of the best freestyler in the world. In Europe, his name was well-known. I learned a lot of cool trick from his video. Two thumbs up for Billy Wingrove.
