Wayne Rooney is set to launch a new TV show to find the country's best young footballer.
The Manchester United star will film Wayne Rooney's Street Striker for British satellite channel Sky One in urban locations across the UK as he searches for an outstanding young player to nurture and guide.
Producers say the three-part show will also provide an insight into the England striker's life and off-pitch personality.
The show is based on the annual Coca-Cola Street Striker competition and auditions are currently taking place, with boys and girls set different challenges.
The hopefuls will be whittled down to 50 candidates for the first episode of the TV show, before Rooney and a team of judges select the best prospects to progress into episode two.
A source close to the project told industry magazine Broadcast, "This isn't about kids doing keepie uppies in the park.
"It's beautifully shot, real street football."
