Many professional players started out as street footballers before being snapped up by academies, and Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum was only too happy to return to his roots in a bid to be crowned nutmeg king.
England captain Wayne Rooney is a prime example of someone who grew up learning his trade in the residential suburb of Croxteth, but he is not alone in taking his love for the game onto the streets of Liverpool.
Reds midfielder Wijnaldum went incognito to show he has not lost his love for the impromtu kickabout, with the fun-loving Dutchman endearing himself further to Liverpool fans by taking part in a game based on how many nutmegs you can perform in 10 minutes.
