Wayne Rooney's Street Striker

Coke Zero Presents: Wayne Rooney's Street Striker, which premieres this Sunday evening at 7pm on Sky1.

The three-part series sees Rooney go back to his routes to find the nation's most skilful street footballers. The attached clip, from this Sunday's show, sees Wayne taking on The Tower Block Challenge.

The overall winner of the show, to be revealed at the end of the series, will win a once-in-a-lifetime trip - a place at next summer's Coke Zero football camp in Brazil.

Wayne Rooney commented: Ive always said that playing on the streets when I was young helped me a lot. The skills I developed helped me get into the Everton first team. You are working on your passing and touch when youre playing with your mates and noticing they are getting better all the time

When I was younger I was on the streets until it went dark, I loved it. I never thought of anything else, I just wanted to play football. If we can encourage more kids to do that it would be great.

We're looking for someone thats technically good, has a good touch and shows they want to play and that they enjoy it. And that theyre fun to be around. Its very exciting to be part of something like this — helping find good, young players. Its amazing to see how talented the kids out there actually are but its horrible when I have to tell someone theyve not made it to the next round. Just seeing the disappointment on their face is awful.
