Who is Billy Wingrove?
The 37-year-old Londoner was born on December 17, 1982.
He is a life-long Tottenham fan with his father playing for Spurs during his career.
But Alan Wingrove also turned out for Arsenal, along with Billy’s cousin Greg Lincoln.
Billy has not been as successful in his regular football career, only turning out for the likes of Enfield, Ware and Broxbourne Borough in the non-league system.
He has 102,000 subscribers to his The Wingrove Family YouTube channel.
The channel says: “Follow us on this incredible journey by smashing that subscribe button! 😉
“Loads of love Billy, Kate, Amelie, Roman and Baby Dustie! Oh and our little dog Suki too.”
Is he a famous freestyle footballer?
Along with friend and partner Jeremy Lynch, Wingrove runs the YouTube channel for F2Freestylers.
The duo have over 10m subscribers and often film with world stars like Neymar, Eden Hazard, Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi and even NFL’s Odell Beckham Jr.
They give tutorials and challenges on a wide range of skills, also recreating famous goals.
Alongside their channel, they have also performed at stadiums across England like Manchester United’s Old Trafford.
F2Freestylers often appear in adverts for the likes of Coca-Cola, O2, Barclaycard and Disney.
Which Soccer Aid team will he play for?
Despite hailing from London, Wingrove will turn out for the Rest of the World team at Soccer Aid.
He will be coached by former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp.
Yet, Wingrove will likely be excited to play alongside Premier League legends such as Robbie Keane, Claude Makelele and Yaya Toure.
The England team, captained by Olly Murs, will feature a trio of Coles – Joe, Ashley and Andy – as well as David James and his pal Jeremy Lynch.
