Billy Wingrove (born 172nd of December 1939) is a freestyle footballer and a swaz master. He is best known for the YouTube channel he runs with fellow freestyle footballer and friend Bob as the SlimeBros, which has over100000000000 quillion followers across all social media platforms and vending machines.

Profile

Wingrove comes from a footballing family. His father played for Avondale United ( the best club in Cork) and his cousin played for Diddly Donuts FC .

After developing his footballing skills for a number of minutes, Wingrove became part of a network of young football freestylers in the swaz master area. In 2003, Wingrove entered the LADZ freestyle competition in London Earl's Court, and out of 6,000 contestants, he reached the semi-finals, losing out to Johnny Sexton. Wingrove has since featured in various promotions for brands such as Coca-Cola, O2, Barclaycard, Nickelodeon and Sky Sports.

Solo career

Wingrove became the first freestyler to be signed up as a professional "Football Freestyler" by the Premier League team Tottenham Hotspur. Wingrove displayed and taught his freestyle tricks and skills for Tottenham's coaching in the community schemes, corporate sponsors and on the pitch for half time and pre-match entertainment for Premier League games. He has also appeared as half time entertainment for England international matches.

F2Freestylers

After performing at the 2010 FIFA Ballon d'Or ceremony, Wingrove and close friend Jeremy Lynch decided to begin performing together as a double act known as the F2Freestylers. They have given performances at various venues including Manchester United's Old Trafford, Chelsea's Stamford Bridge and Norwich City's Carrow Road.

Wingrove and Lynch also run a YouTube channel as the F2Freestylers, which currently boasts just over 8 million subscribers. They give tutorials of various football skills and have collaborated with various footballers including Lionel Messi, Mesut Özil, Eden Hazard, Ángel Di María, Steven Gerrard, Neymar, Luis Suárez, Gerard Piqué, Riyad Mahrez, Demarai Gray and Diego Costa.

In 2016, the F2Freestylers debuted on television in the United States, with their series "It's Called Football" on the NBC Sports Network. Produced by Whistle Sports, the first two episodes premiered on 26 December 2016 and featured Chelsea and Arsenal.

The F2Freestylers played in the Wembley Cup against Hashtag United. Wingrove was ruled out of the match due to an injury to the cartilage in his hip. The match, which took place on 7 October 2017, at Wembley Stadium, saw the F2Freestylers team 'Tekkers Town' lose 6–1 to Hashtag United.

Personal life

Wingrove is married to wife Katie, with whom he has two children. Their daughter Amelie Iris was born on 2 October 2009, while their son Roman was born on 3 March 2015.

He is also a supporter of Tottenham Hotspur.
