Video: Unaired Pilot for "Football Star" TV Show




Let's start the morning of with a trip to "Backinthedayville" and some video from the entirely non-existent TOR video vault. It's an un-aired pilot for a British television show entitled "Football Star" in which a young blighter from Blighty (Woking to be exact) called Sam get's gifted a trip to America to live the life of a pro footballer with Freddy Adu.

Now being that this is clip originates from Backinthedayville, our Freddy is still playing in D.C. So what was his life like back then? Training (obviously), a fine European motorcar (of course), ironically out-sized breakfasts (he's growing boy after all), golf (Tiger, Tiger Woods y'all), a Pespi machine in the kitchen (because he can), and pre-match rendezvous with pop-Lolita ex-girlfriend JoJo (as one is want to do when they have pop-Lolita ex-girlfriends).

It's a long video so you might want to wait 'til lunchtime. Or you can just throw all pretense of having a work ethic in the garbage next to the upcoming --and wholly unnecessary-- Sugar Ray album and watch it now.

That was pretty cool - and if anyone still questions his age, they don't need to look much further than this video.

Thanks for posting it.

Could there really be people in England at that time, or now for that matter that want to hang with Freddy Adu?
