I learned how to kick a ball with my left and right foot .

How to turn , how to shoot, how to pass.

I will always have affection for this place.

Well, Gerrard and his Liverpool team had a great

win against Tottenham last weekend, so they jump into 5th place.

We haven't seen you since the World Cup, how has your summer been?

I did a bit of training and meet some guys out there.

In Edinburgh, I was part of the show about Brazil.

That was me catching up with some of the local freestylers ,

You can always spot someone who does tricks and stuff .

I got quite close to some of the local guide and we went out training

I have come back better by learning from them

Some of my favourite stuff is when you go to various locations and

My thing has been to go into an area, like a field, and see it

differently. I do not know whether it it is my imagination. But that is

the reason I started free styling because I enjoy being on my own. You

do not need a foot will pitch to do what you do. You can get on a park

bench. -- football pitch. We are not just going to give you one

challenge, we are giving you two. First up, let's go to the cave.

Let's do it, yes! It's cold, dark and gloomy. You can get out on this

case. You can do this at home by asking three statistic based

questions. The answer can only be higher or lower. You can do it with

this, the key. You hold the world record for most number of round the

world 's, at 85. That is incredible. This man has been around the world

himself that he is also causing a stir because he is quite eccentric.

He has a large squad number on the back of his shirt. The question is,

is the squad number higher or lower than 85? The move I'd do is around

the world but I do not know if there are 85 players. I am going to go

lower. John, you are correct. It is lower, 45! You also have the world

record for the most number of tone juggles with 108. -- toe. This World

Cup has the most number of goals scored in a tournament. Was that

number, higher or lower than 108? I am going to go lower. Lower? Yes.

Lover than 108? The answer is higher! -- lower. It is 171. The key

is out of our grasp that it is higher! -- lower. It is 171. The key

final question. Last Christmas you got the most number of heel

final question. Last Christmas you at 130. I remember the tension. A

brilliant day. Aaron Ramsey has the most number of touches in a Premier

League match most number of touches in a Premier

question is, was that number of touches higher or lower than 133? I

think a footballer would touch of all quite a lot, especially with a

player so good as he. -- touch a ball. Higher than 133? Yes. The

answer is higher macro 134. A great effort but you did not get the key.

You know what? It was great. The challenge does not stop there

because later on, you will take another challenge.

from all over the world, and sometimes they need help to settle

into their new city. That's why Newcastle United invited two of

Hello! Welcome to Newcastle United. We have a hugely talented and

diverse squad of players. Today we are spending the day with two of the

newest signings, teaching them about the history of our football club.

Let's go and check it out. Since it opened, the Newcastle United Museum

has become one of the city's most popular attractions. It has a

replica of the tunnel, two famous memorabilia. It is a great chance

for the new signings to get to know about the Manchester United boys.

Thus -- to know about the Newcastle

United boys. We had a great day and the boys were teaching us more about

the club. It is great to know about the club. It was nice to be here. I

know a lot of big players have played here before. Alan Shearer

will take this one. Yes! Now it can begin. The first question, in which

year were Newcastle United... It is important for the new players to

learn about the club. Newcastle has a rich history over the past 140

years so it is really, really important that all the players know

a bit about history. They are not going to be experts but they should

at least know the basics of the club. I am pretty close to the

city. There are some pretty nice views and you can see a bit more of

the city. You can see more of the country. It is a really nice team

and we want to win. To win the Premier League is really tough. It

is now time for Big Mouth. The last time you did this was in a field.

You did it quite normally, didn't you? I just kicked it. Today, I'm a

free starlet. How many will you get? I think I will get three or four.

Today, I am a freestyler. I'm going to go on my knees for this to give

you a helping hand to stop your time will start now. Off you go! Go on,

John! Yes, he has two! Go on! Go on! Yes! Yes! I equalled it. You

equalled it. I am so happy. John, let's go and look at the scoreboard.

He is currently the leader and you have equalled it. I will take that!
