Who is Jeremy Lynch?
Jeremy Lynch is a London-born football freestyler who makes a living from showcasing his skills off the pitch.
Aged 15, he dreamed of playing for Arsenal’s Academy and started doing tricks in 2000 after watching a Nike advert.
In 2008 he made it to the semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent, where his mixture of sheer skill and dance prowess brought the audience to their feet.
He joined his pal Billy Wingrove to run the popular F2 Freestylers Ultimate Soccer Skills Channel on YouTube, with over 50.73million followers across all social media platforms.
Jeremy has been dating his long-term girlfriend Shauna Louise for the past six years.
What is Soccer Aid?
Jeremy returned to the football fundraiser at Stamford Bridge in London in 2019 and bagged himself two goals for England.
Founded by Robbie Williams, Soccer Aid for Unicef has raised more than £30million for charity since it was founded over 12 years ago.
The funding goes towards making sure more children in impoverished countries can spend more time at play.
In 2020 he’s switching sides and lines up with pal Billy as well as Kem Cetinay, Roman Kemp and Patrice Evra for the World XI.
