:02:58. > :03:00.The big tie of the weekend, though, has to be at Anfield,
:03:01. > :03:08.Now, how about some young Terriers to show me about?
:03:09. > :03:10.Well, I'm in luck, because that's exactly who I'm joined by.
:03:11. > :03:26.So, tell us, what's it like, at this moment in time,
:03:27. > :03:30.Brilliant, as we're in the Premier League, but the best

:04:54. > :05:00.There's been a lot of changes for life in the Premier League,
:05:01. > :05:02.for example, this dug out is brand-new.
:05:03. > :05:14.We've played in the top flight of English football but we've never
:05:15. > :05:19.When Huddersfield started out, we were debating
:05:20. > :05:23.Lots of people wanted pink, but we ended up wearing
:05:24. > :05:26.blue and white and we're still blue today.
:05:27. > :05:30.COMMENTATOR: A chance to shoot and a chance to score!
:05:31. > :05:33.This is where we sit at home games, what do you think?
:05:34. > :05:36.I think that is a pretty decent view you guys have got, I love it.
:05:37. > :06:08.Well, I think I can pretty much class myself as a Huddersfield
:06:09. > :06:11.mastermind thanks to those lot, and from one set of top young
:06:12. > :06:14.footie fans to another, it's time to check out the skills
:06:15. > :06:24.First up, Jacob with a cheeky rabona there.
:06:25. > :06:36.Harrison now in the nets with a brilliant save.
:06:37. > :07:03.Guys, I've brought you here to Huddersfield Town's first-team
:07:04. > :07:05.training ground for a little bit of a surprise.
:07:06. > :07:19.First touch to bring it down, second touch to score on his debut.
:07:20. > :07:28.Welcome to Huddersfield, Kasey Palmer!
:07:29. > :07:31.What was it like coming up from the Academy to become a pro?
:07:32. > :07:37.Ever since I started playing football from a young age,
:07:38. > :07:39.I dreamed of playing in the first team in front of fans.
:07:40. > :07:41.To achieve my dream was pretty special.
:07:42. > :07:44.I think I was working hard from when I was younger
:07:45. > :07:49.than you guys, probably Susan's age, to become a professional footballer.
:07:50. > :07:52.What football advice would you give to young kids and players like us?
:07:53. > :07:55.It feels like yesterday that I was your age,
:07:56. > :07:57.going to school and now I'm a professional footballer,
:07:58. > :08:08.so I think just keep working hard, and you can achieve your dreams.
:08:09. > :08:11.What do you think it's going to be like when Huddersfield
:08:12. > :08:14.play your old boys Chelsea, even though we are Huddersfield
:08:15. > :08:18.Obviously if Huddersfield score it's going to be straightaway celebrate.
:08:19. > :08:22.What will be will be on the date, and hopefully it's a good
:08:23. > :08:28.What's the main difference about playing in the
:08:29. > :08:34.I think the level of players is a lot higher.
:08:35. > :08:36.In the Premiership it's playing against world-class players,
:08:37. > :08:38.who five years ago I was watching and supporting them trying
:08:39. > :08:42.to be like and then all of a sudden I could be playing
:08:43. > :08:46.Do you feel the pressure when that happens?
:08:47. > :08:48.Yeah, I think when you're in the eternal walking out
:08:49. > :08:50.against people you play with an Fifa, do
:08:51. > :08:56.So yeah, it's special, it really does feel special.
:08:57. > :09:03.What's it like playing for England national team? I think it's a big
:09:04. > :09:06.honour to represent the country you were born in. It's a privilege to
:09:07. > :09:13.play and hopefully win for your country, that's the biggest honour.
:09:14. > :09:16.Solid quizzing. Best of luck against Southampton this weekend. Do you
:09:17. > :09:23.think they're going to win? Yeah, obviously!
:09:24. > :09:32.So, Palmer's be great -- big break came any with eight but surely all
:09:33. > :09:36.Scouts can't see all budding young football talent. Fellow Premier
:09:37. > :09:40.League club West Brom have come up with a brand-new online recruitment
:09:41. > :09:45.system to make sure no young talent is left behind.
:09:46. > :09:49.For most young footie fans it's the ultimate dream, to get scouted by
:09:50. > :09:53.your favourite football club, have a trial, impress the coaches and then
:09:54. > :09:57.go on to play for the first team in front of thousands of fans each
:09:58. > :10:01.week. It was always my dream, and it's how
:10:02. > :10:09.most professional footballers got into the game. COMMENTATOR: Saido
:10:10. > :10:15.Berahino with his Premier League debut! Born in the Democratic
:10:16. > :10:20.Republic of Congo moved to England as an eight-year-old...
:10:21. > :10:25.But what if there was an easy as way to get your talents spotted by
:10:26. > :10:29.Premier League club? West Brom hope their new online recruitment
:10:30. > :10:33.programme is a chance for young players to make their dream a
:10:34. > :10:38.reality. All you need is a ball, someone to fill new and an 18-yard
:10:39. > :10:43.box, and of course, some serious skills. Here's how it's done. First,
:10:44. > :10:48.dribble the ball until you are in line with the penalty spot. Stop the
:10:49. > :10:53.ball, run straight to the 18-yard line and then back to the football.
:10:54. > :11:02.Dribble the ball to the penalty spot and then perform ten consecutive
:11:03. > :11:04.Tilly and Terry. Turn on strike the ball at the goal, the ball must not
:11:05. > :11:15.bounce before crossing the line. I am here with these boys who have
:11:16. > :11:20.taken on the challenge beat the Baggies and they have the top score.
:11:21. > :11:25.How does that feel? It feels good. It means it shows you work hard and
:11:26. > :11:29.you just want to wind. If you were to give me or any other budding
:11:30. > :11:34.player out there some tips on this challenge, what would they be? You
:11:35. > :11:38.have to be speedy and when you do pick-ups, take your time and don't
:11:39. > :11:43.rush it. You need good control on the ball so you can keep it in the
:11:44. > :12:03.area where you want it. Shall we try? Romagna yeah. Awesome!
:12:04. > :12:08.It's quite hard, isn't it? I was more tired physically than I
:12:09. > :12:14.thought. I thought only running that way and that way wouldn't be much
:12:15. > :12:19.effort but it is, isn't it? Great to meet you. I've taken on the Baggies
:12:20. > :12:24.challenge and it really inspired me. I think it's something very
:12:25. > :12:27.different. We are keen to start utilising social media and the
:12:28. > :12:31.Internet and hopefully get hold of some players we otherwise wouldn't
:12:32. > :12:34.see. Loads of kids in the local area might not get seen and whilst we
:12:35. > :12:38.have a really, really good scouting team, they can't be everywhere.
:12:39. > :12:43.Hopefully this gives kids a chance to get spotted on their own turf.
:12:44. > :12:47.Guys, thank you so much. Lovely to meet you both. I will look out for
:12:48. > :12:52.you in the Premier League. That's almost it from us this week
:12:53. > :13:02.but in case you missed it last week, and if you did, what are you doing?
:13:03. > :13:04.Here's another chance to find out all about our fantastic Jamie
:13:05. > :13:07.Johnson opportunity and how you can be in the new series.
:13:08. > :13:11.Jamie Johnson, the boy with a dream who lives and breathes football,
:13:12. > :13:17.just like so many of you at home. We've had some superstar talent in
:13:18. > :13:22.the first two series of this incredible drama. Steven Gerrard,
:13:23. > :13:25.Gary Lineker, but this year we are teaming up with Jamie Johnson and
:13:26. > :13:29.offering you the opportunity of a lifetime. We are looking for five

:13:54. > :13:57.selection you need to be aged between 9-14 and send us a
:13:58. > :14:03.continuous clip, no more than 30 seconds, showcasing your best footy

:14:08. > :14:13.touch, dribble or receiving the ball from height. Any move that shows
:14:14. > :14:16.skill in this area. Creativity... A personal favourite
:14:17. > :14:24.of mine. You might want to show off your freestyle skills or a cheeky
:14:25. > :14:29.trick, be imaginative. Accuracy, passing, hitting targets,
:14:30. > :14:32.shooting at goal, if it demonstrates precision, that's what we want to
:14:33. > :14:39.see. Once you have filmed the video head to the CBBC website and you
:14:40. > :14:42.will find a link to our video upload. And whilst online, if you
