0:04:36 > 0:04:38My name is Ollie, and I'm a massive Huddersfield Town fan.

0:04:38 > 0:04:44You're my favourite player, I have your name

0:04:44 > 0:04:48on my shirt, and and I have your shirt from when you beat Man United.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50Who's the best player you have ever played against?

0:04:50 > 0:04:52The best player I have ever played against the Lionel

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Messi at Barcelona, when I played him in the Champions League.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58Hi, Zanka.

0:05:01 > 0:05:02My name is Jamie.

0:05:02 > 0:05:03I'm a huge Huddersfield Town fan.

0:05:03 > 0:05:06This is my question for you.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08At what age did you realise you wanted to be a

0:05:08 > 0:05:12footballer and what top tip would you give to anybody who wants to get

0:05:12 > 0:05:13into the game?

0:05:13 > 0:05:14Hi, Jamie.

0:05:14 > 0:05:16I think I've always wanted to be a football

0:05:16 > 0:05:17player.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20Maybe around 15 years of age, I realised it was a goal that I

0:05:20 > 0:05:21could actually reach.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Good advice from me would be just always do your

0:05:24 > 0:05:26best, and there will be times which feel really hard,

0:05:26 > 0:05:28but you've just got to stick to it.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30I sing at the match from the stands.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32Does the singing make you play better?

0:05:32 > 0:05:40Ollie, the singing definitely makes me play better.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43It just makes you feel better, makes you feel

0:05:43 > 0:05:51stronger, being able to run fast and all these things.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52Exciting.

0:07:52 > 0:08:00I mean, I think Leicester is a group that can definitely beat

0:08:03 > 0:08:05What is it like playing in a stadium like this?

0:08:05 > 0:08:07Some of them may have that experience.

0:08:07 > 0:08:08It's amazing.

0:08:08 > 0:08:13With our fans especially.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16It's amazing to play in all the stadiums in the

0:08:16 > 0:08:17Premier League.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19Week in, week out, great atmosphere, and I'm happy for

0:08:19 > 0:08:24the kids that they can show their talent,

0:08:24 > 0:08:25especially showing the

0:08:25 > 0:08:33talent on that stage and that stadium.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43Is there one piece of advice you can give to the children that may

0:08:43 > 0:08:45go on to play in the final?

0:08:45 > 0:08:47I would just say, keep working hard, keep

0:08:47 > 0:08:48dreaming.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50Keep doing what you're doing, enjoying it, keep working

0:08:50 > 0:08:52hard for your dream, and eventually it comes true.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55It's not only going to that, but that is a base.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57How would it feel to you playing out there?

0:08:57 > 0:08:58It will be incredible.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01If I went there, I wouldn't even be able

0:09:01 > 0:09:04to blink because I would just want to take it all in.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07It is a team effort to get to represent Leicester, but

0:09:07 > 0:09:11we have to make one step at a time.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14If we win, it would just be the best day of my life

0:09:14 > 0:09:16because playing on there, where all the players have played,

0:09:16 > 0:09:18that would just be amazing.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20What a day we have had here at the King Power Stadium.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53The Super Bowl.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55The New England Patriots face the Philadelphia Eagles, so,

0:12:55 > 0:12:57in honour of the big event we thought we would

0:12:57 > 0:12:59test the footy skills of some American footballers.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02Check out how Denver Broncos wide receiver

0:13:02 > 0:13:10Emmanuelle Sanders and Washington Redskins defensive back

0:13:10 > 0:13:12Josh Norman got on attempting the Hat-trick Challenge.

0:13:12 > 0:13:19I am an American footballer and I am here to

0:13:19 > 0:13:20try the Kickabout Hat-trick Challenge.

0:13:20 > 0:13:21Let's see, man.

0:13:21 > 0:13:22That hurt.

0:13:22 > 0:13:25Close.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28A little bit more to the right.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31Got that one!

0:13:31 > 0:13:37Goal!

0:13:37 > 0:13:39Almost.

0:13:39 > 0:13:45Close.

0:13:45 > 0:13:47One.

0:13:47 > 0:13:54You got one in there.

0:13:54 > 0:14:02I'm Josh Norman, American football, and this is the Kickabout

0:14:03 > 0:14:05Hat-trick Challenge I'm about to attempt.

0:14:05 > 0:14:12Don't kick it so hard.

0:14:24 > 0:14:29I should start using my other foot!

0:14:29 > 0:14:36I should have just kept short like that.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38Check out our brand-new Hat-trick Challenge leaderboard with

0:14:38 > 0:14:46all the scores so far.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49Those efforts place Emmanuel here, with one,

0:14:49 > 0:14:55very nice, but unfortunately for Josh, I'm afraid you go down here.

0:14:55 > 0:15:02We are back next Saturday with another name to add to the

0:15:02 > 0:15:06leaderboard plus superstar interviews and plenty
