00:00 All right, boys, everyone sit down for a sec.
00:02 I want everyone to close your eyes.
00:06 Remember where you was when you fell in love with football.
00:09 Remember your first tackle.
00:12 If you're a goalkeeper, can you remember your first save?
00:15 Can you remember your first goal?
00:18 Open your eyes.
00:20 See that feeling I hope you just got right now?
00:23 Always going to start the game with that feeling.
00:25 Everyone talks about the contracts, everyone talks about the cars,
00:28 everyone talks about the careers, but when you was a little kid,
00:31 no one cared about a career when you was a little kid.
00:33 Yeah, when you was playing with your mates, it's just because you love playing football, yeah?
00:36 Yeah.
00:37 I want to see that today. I want you guys to go out there with passion, with pride.
00:40 I'm telling you, there's enough quality in this changing room to win this game.
00:44 Who in this group wants to stand up and be a hero today?
00:47 I need heroes right now, you hear me? Let's go. Good luck.
00:50 Go on, lads. Straight in.
00:56 Straight in.
00:57 This is no ordinary football team.
01:02 It's made up of players rejected by Britain's top clubs,
01:08 all trying to achieve their dream once more.
01:12 I wake up every single day and want to play football.
01:14 If I can get paid for that as well, even better.
01:18 I'm not a guy that's come from money.
01:21 One thing I really wanted to do was pay something back to my parents.
01:25 Quicker, though. Next one, next one. Stay away.
01:28 They're part of a unique training camp, set up by a former Premier League player.
01:33 A stunning goal by teenage striker Gifton Noel Williams earned the points
01:38 and the applause of the near-capacity crowd.
01:40 Football at the highest level gives up on players far too soon.
01:44 I know it feels to these boys when all you want to do is become a professional footballer.
01:48 It eats at you. It's the one desire that you must achieve.
01:51 Gifton believes that working with players off the pitch helps make them a success on it.
01:57 I'm a lion. I've got my genlocks, you see what I'm saying?
02:00 I want all you guys to be lions as well.
02:02 So he's calling on some of football's biggest stars.
02:06 Bruno Fernandes, oh, what a strike!
02:09 It's good being emotional because if I don't moan with the referee, it's not me playing.
02:13 To help get the boys ready for the ultimate test.
02:16 Everything you've worked hard on during the week comes down to now.
02:19 Playing in front of scouts.
02:21 Very good footballer. He's the one that caught my eye.
02:24 With a chance to win pro contracts again.
02:27 We'd definitely be interested in taking you on.
02:31 Oh!
02:35 And I'll be cheering them on.
02:37 My name's Roman.
02:39 And yeah, I had dreams of being a footballer too.
02:43 It's like watching Brazil.
02:45 I'll be following the boys as they spill blood.
02:49 I don't know.
02:50 One more big injury, call it a day.
02:52 I'm only 26 years old.
02:54 If anyone's got a problem, we can go to the f***ing toilets and we can scrap.
02:57 What, what, what?
02:58 Sweat.
02:59 I feel like my chest is coming out of my mouth.
03:01 And tears.
03:02 I feel dull too.
03:05 Please finish.
03:07 Yeah!
03:10 As they take one last shot.
03:12 You're going to play for Bradford. The whole city will be watching you as well.
03:17 I'll give it my best.
03:18 At glory.
03:19 Oh, God!
03:23 What?
03:24 Boogey!
