8 Ball Hotshots on Manchester United TV

A while back I hosted a show for MUTV.  Sharing some pool tips, tricks and hustles with some football stars from the biggest club in the world. They are a great bunch of lads, and we had a fun day filming.  The show goes out on MUTV tonight – watch it if you can!

Write up from the MUTV Website:

Four Manchester United players recently traded the training pitch for a pool table – with MUTV's cameras capturing all the action.

Reds goalkeepers Anders Lindegaard and Tomasz Kuszczak plus strikers Kiko Macheda and Mame Biram Diouf all picked up pool cues for a practice session with world trick shot champion Steve Daking, followed by a mini tournament amongst themselves.

To see the players learning how to hustle and attempting tricks, and to find out which United player is top dog at pool, watch 8-Ball Hot-Shots on MUTV at 21:00 GMT this Sunday, 22 January.

Soccer AM – Skill Skool

Steve with Rocket from Soccer AM, Carly from Riley's Luton and Snooker Pro Nic Barrow

I had a day out yesterday, filming a segment for Sky's Soccer AM. The show goes out live every Saturday morning on Sky 1, and usually features a 'Skill Skool' where very talented footballers compete in a head to head using their soccer skills.

As a bit of a change, the producers decided to stage a trickshot challenge to tie in with the final weekend of the World Snooker Championships at the Crucible.

So I headed down to Riley's in Luton with my bag of tricks to face snooker professional and IBSF Head Coach, Nic Barrow, in a trick shot showdown. We got three shots each – judging will be done live on the show on Saturday 30th April. Fingers crossed!
