0:00:23 > 0:00:24Good
0:00:24 > 0:00:24Good morning,
0:00:24 > 0:00:24Good morning, football
0:00:24 > 0:00:30Good morning, football fans!
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Have we got a treat in store for you this week?
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Goals are what makes football really special,
0:00:34 > 0:00:36and we have got loads of them.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37And not just average goals either.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39A snowstorm of absolute crackers.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43We have also got all this coming up:
0:00:43 > 0:00:46I have been to meet a very creative former Premier league player, who is
0:00:46 > 0:00:50proving that football can definitely be considered an art form.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Two-time world boxing champion Amir Khan gives us
0:00:52 > 0:00:55his dream five-aside team.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58And, we have got a special guest in the studio.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02A striker who scored one of the best goals in the world this year.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05And that is official.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08But first up, let's take a look at the biggest
0:01:08 > 0:01:13stories after a frenetic few days in the world of football.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18Everyone was taken by surprise when Gary Neville was appointed head
0:01:18 > 0:01:21coach of Spanish club Valencia.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24This is his first managerial position, and he's going to be
0:01:24 > 0:01:27a very busy man indeed.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30He also co-owns non-league club Salford City, and will remain
0:01:30 > 0:01:35an assistant England coach.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Take a look at this wonder goal.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Not only is it brilliant, but it is absolutely crucial.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45This amazing solo effort from Neil MacLean came in the last minute of a
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Scottish cup match, and earned his non-league side a big replay against
0:01:48 > 0:01:53League Two table toppers Annan Athletic.
0:01:53 > 0:01:59Look at those devastated defenders.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Champions Chelsea might be struggling this season, but they are
0:02:06 > 0:02:11still planning to build a new 60,000 seater stadium at Stamford Bridge.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14That means their current stadium will be
0:02:14 > 0:02:17demolished with a new spaceship like creation taking its place.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Before looking that far ahead, Mourinho's men need to reverse
0:02:20 > 0:02:23their recent slump in form, and their match against Bournemouth is
0:02:23 > 0:02:28a standout fixture in another busy day of Premier League football.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30There is also loads of FA Cup second-round football
0:02:30 > 0:02:32across the next few days.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35To celebrate, we have got a new addition to the studio.
0:02:35 > 0:02:46Say hello to Gary's big ears.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48We will see more from him later.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Here is a little test for you.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Any idea why some of these teams are highlighted in red?
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Yes, that's right, these teams are non-league clubs,
0:02:54 > 0:02:57and that means they are just one step away from the third round,
0:02:57 > 0:03:00and the chance of playing against one of the Premier league big boys.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04That is a time when the best goals are likely to go flying in.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Just like these, our top five FA Cup volleys.
0:03:06 > 0:03:12Keegan!
0:03:12 > 0:03:17And now Hutchinson to McKenzie.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Oh, a tremendous goal!
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Here is Cantona.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Simply the best.
0:03:25 > 0:03:31And that is Sinclair!
0:03:31 > 0:03:34That is a breathtaking goal.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37He puts it into Michael Thomas.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41And that goes down as one of the best cup final goals.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45The three-man shortlist for the best player in
0:03:45 > 0:03:48the world award has been announced.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51I don't think you will be gobsmacked to find out that Messi,
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar are up for the award.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58La Liga really is the home of the very, very best.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02There is no doubt that Chelsea's Hazzard is a top-class
0:04:02 > 0:04:05player, but since the Belgian last put the ball in the nets, Neymar has
0:04:05 > 0:04:10scored 23 times for Barcelona.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Get your shooting boots on, Eden!
0:04:12 > 0:04:15It's not just the best players in the world that Fifa look at,
0:04:15 > 0:04:18the award goes to the player that they consider to have scored the
0:04:18 > 0:04:20best goal in the world this year.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Last year's winner was Rodriguez.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27There was an excited Colombian commentator.
0:04:31 > 0:04:40PROLONGED SHOUTING.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42What a strike!
0:04:42 > 0:04:45And that commentator is off again.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Never mind the goal, the commentator is a genius!
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Surely he should win some kind of award for sheer enthusiasm?
0:04:51 > 0:04:55He has finished.
0:04:55 > 0:05:02Out of thousands of great goals across the planet in 2015,
0:05:02 > 0:05:05the ten short listed for this year's award are all very special,
0:05:05 > 0:05:09and we are honoured to have a player who has scored one of those ten
0:05:09 > 0:05:11beauties right here in our studio.
0:05:11 > 0:05:19Before we meet him, let's marvel at his mastery.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25David Ball of Fleetwood Town, it's a pleasure to have you here.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29The architect of one of the best goals I have ever seen.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Yes, incredible.
0:05:32 > 0:05:39How many times have you watch that back?
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Honesty, over a hundred times.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Does it ever get dull?
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Not at all.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51I enjoy every minute of it.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54We have had a chance to watch that from a couple of angles.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57We have got another one here, and I would like you to talk us through.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59You pick up the ball.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01A fair distance from the area and you are surrounded basically
0:06:01 > 0:06:02by about six defenders.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04What are you thinking at that point?
0:06:04 > 0:06:07The defender on my back, I kind of thought there is
0:06:07 > 0:06:11an opportunity to turn.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13I saw where he was, and you try these things
0:06:13 > 0:06:17in training and I have gone for it and it went in the top corner.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20It is the sort of shot that looks phenomenal if it hits the target.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23If you miss, you will get stick from your team-mates, aren't you?
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Massively, you get stick from everyone.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Luckily you did not miss, and you end up being
0:06:27 > 0:06:33in the top ten goals in the world.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38How did you even find that you had been nominated?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Initially I was at home on the Friday afternoon, and
0:06:41 > 0:06:45the press guy rang and said, I told you that would get you some press.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47He said it is up for the award.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48I said no, really?
0:06:48 > 0:06:49Then my phone started ringing.
0:06:49 > 0:06:56It was brilliant.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00In great company as well with Messi up there with you.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Talking about great strikers.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05You play for Fleetwood now.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Jamie Vardy's old club.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11I was trying to figure out the maths, it looks like he got sold
0:07:11 > 0:07:12and you got brought in.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13You are Jamie Vardy's replacement.
0:07:13 > 0:07:22Yes, big shoes to fill, but it just shows young lads for myself,
0:07:23 > 0:07:26there is still an opportunity to go and prove people wrong.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29He said on social media that yours was his favourite goal of the ten,
0:07:29 > 0:07:30so you have won him over.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32That is fantastic coming from him.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Will you ever score a better goal?
0:07:34 > 0:07:35I doubt it.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39If that is the best one, it is brilliant, well done.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42There has been a few wonder goals on the show
0:07:42 > 0:07:43already, but we are not done yet.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Lots of viewers sent us their own stunning efforts, and we wanted
0:07:46 > 0:07:48to share one of them with you.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51It is a bit like being on Match of the Day.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Analyse this great goal.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56This is Albie who is seven.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57He cuts in from the wing.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58A very smart turn.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Then he proceeds to take the defence on a merry dance.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02They are all following him.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03What a smart finish.
0:08:03 > 0:08:08Obviously, initially, a great bit of footwork.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11It takes a big touch to get away from the three defenders
0:08:11 > 0:08:14and then shoot back across himself.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17That's what we get taught to do, so fantastic.
0:08:17 > 0:08:17Really great stuff.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Left foot as well.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23I am happy to score a left foot goal all the time.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25It was a cup final, that, so he can handle the pressure.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Yes, it does not get to him.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Maybe we'll see him on the award show one day.
0:08:30 > 0:08:30Thank you, David.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34We will see you later.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36For many former players, life after football is something
0:08:36 > 0:08:38of a blank canvas.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39But not for this guy.
0:08:39 > 0:08:47Football is often called the beautiful game, and certainly
0:08:47 > 0:08:50players like Diego Maradona and Messi have elevated it to
0:08:50 > 0:08:53an art form on the pitch.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57But one former player has taken up art of the pitch.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00His name is Jody Craddock and we have come here to his house,
0:09:00 > 0:09:04which also doubles as his studio, to meet the man and his masterpieces.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Jody, thanks for the tour of the house.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Lots of your artwork there, but this is where it is centred, isn't it?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14This is your studio in the roof.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Yes, this is where I do my work and make my mess.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21It is not a tidy studio.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Painting was just a hobby.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28There was always football, that was always what there was going to be.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31I was not good enough until I was 18 to become a footballer.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34I did A-level art at school, I scraped through with an E.
0:09:34 > 0:09:39E for excellent, exactly.
0:09:39 > 0:09:46I copy a few things.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48It is for my own fun, a bit of a hobby.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52The more I did, the better I got.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Driven in...
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Jody Craddock of all people!
0:09:57 > 0:09:5920 years as a footballer.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01I did not carry a paintbrush into training.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Just me, it was about football, I used to train hard and work hard
0:10:04 > 0:10:07and play my game on the Saturday.
0:10:07 > 0:10:13When I came to the end of my career, I did need to make a decision.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Did I go into coaching, what everyone expected me to do?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19At the end of the day, it was never a question.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22It's a dream job, and it is not even really a job, a
0:10:22 > 0:10:23hobby that has got out of control.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27I love doing it.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31People always ask me who is the best player I have played against.
0:10:31 > 0:10:36I played against Cantona, an absolute legend.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38It was the pre-season friendly in Cambridge.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42He was an absolute legend.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46He was not particular bothered that day, which was good for me because I
0:10:46 > 0:10:48marked him.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Pele. He has got it!
0:10:51 > 0:10:56Pele has scored.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00So, this is Pele.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05This was painted just purely for the enjoyment of painting?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Yes, and a friend of mine got it signed by Pele, which is great.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10I tend to experiment a lot and do lots of different things.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13I am working on my main pieces, but I love to try everything.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15As an artist, you need an identity.
0:11:15 > 0:11:20For you to see a painting of mine in a different town and
0:11:20 > 0:11:23if it didn't have my name on, I would like to think you could look
0:11:23 > 0:11:25at it and think, that is a Craddock.
0:11:25 > 0:11:31And here is an original Craddock, which he has kindly painted for us.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33There is our brilliant logo there, and
0:11:33 > 0:11:37on the bottom you have got all these stick figures having a kickabout.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38It is called Fantasy Kickabout.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39What a great title.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41We will take good care of that.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42There we go.
0:11:42 > 0:11:49You know it is the end of the year when the nominations
0:11:49 > 0:11:51for Sports Personality of the Year are announced.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53There is a bumper crop for the 2015 prize.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Here they all are, and a huge congratulations to
0:11:55 > 0:11:59England footballer Lucy Bronze for making the short list.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02One man who knows what it is like to be nominated for sports personality
0:12:02 > 0:12:05of the year is Amir Khan.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08The two-time world champion wants to deliver a knockout blow with
0:12:08 > 0:12:11his very own dream five-aside team.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13I am Amir Khan.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15This is unbelievable stuff.
0:12:15 > 0:12:23It is over!
0:12:23 > 0:12:31Amir Khan has done it.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34I am a big Bolton Wanderers fan and my dream team would
0:12:34 > 0:12:36be myself as goalkeeper.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37Rio Ferdinand is an amazing defender.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Looking for Ferdinand...
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Kevin Nolan.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44He was a great Bolton Wanderers player.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Nolan heading towards goal, and what a goal by the Bolton captain.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Then we have Kevin Davies, who was another great legend
0:12:51 > 0:12:54for Bolton Wanderers.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Kevin Davies!
0:12:56 > 0:13:00The striker will be Wayne Rooney.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Wayne Rooney for Manchester United, what a goal!
0:13:03 > 0:13:07Oh, what a goal.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19Now, David, as it is FA Cup weekend, we wanted you to be
0:13:19 > 0:13:21the first to try our new challenge of Gary's big ears.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23It is very exciting.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27All you have to do is see how many goals you can put through
0:13:27 > 0:13:29his lugholes in 20 seconds.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30Ready?
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Yes.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Take your position.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38I would expect lots of sublime chips coming off this year.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39In three, two, one, go!
0:13:39 > 0:13:40Oh, a close one.
0:13:40 > 0:13:4120 seconds on the clock.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Lots of pressure here, David.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Oh!
0:13:47 > 0:13:53Gary's face is getting a battering here.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56There will be lots of people at Fleetwood counting on you.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57We have got one!
0:13:57 > 0:13:57Not long left.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Oh, two.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01We will give you that as well.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02Excellent work.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04That was tough.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06You did very well.
0:14:06 > 0:14:07It was tough, yes.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09I got it going in the end.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10You got a hat-trick.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Because you are the first person to try,
0:14:12 > 0:14:13it puts you top of the leaderboard.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15It has been great having you on the show.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19That is all for today's show, but we wanted to leave you with a reminder
0:14:19 > 0:14:22that, despite what the nominations might have you believe, La Liga does
0:14:22 > 0:14:23not have all the talent.
0:14:23 > 0:14:34Everton's Ross Barkley is having a superb season so far.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37He has got the most combined goals for an English midfielder
0:14:37 > 0:14:38and he is 22 years old today.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Happy birthday, Ross.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43See you!
0:14:43 > 0:14:47Barkley scores!
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Barkley...
0:14:51 > 0:14:53And he see a way through - what a goal.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Superb strike from Ross Barkley!
0:14:56 > 0:15:07What a goal!
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Berkley.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11What a stunning goal from Ross Barkley!
